Attempting to parseFloat on a Symbol throws the error Cannot convert a Symbol value to a string. Type checking for a Symbol before attempting to parse avoids the error and allows Vue.set to be called on Symbols.

Flow test failure due to facebook/flow#1015

One workaround is val && val.toString()

According to the spec, typeof can return vendor specified string like "ActiveX".

Attempting to parseFloat on a Symbol throws the error
`Cannot convert a Symbol value to a string`.

A Symbol can be cast to a string using `.toString()` or `String()` though,
so explicitly casting before parsing resolves the issue, allowing `Vue.set` to
be called on Symbols.

@HerringtonDarkholme I resolved the issue by simply explicitly casting val to a String in one of the two ways that work with Symbols as well.
