fix github issue #200 - docs for 'strange object'

Browse Source 
Fixes #200

The Guidebook claims that there's no symbol for 'S_strange_object'
which is literally true, but there is one for S_strange_obj.  It has
been in place longer than the paragraph claiming that there's no way
to customize that symbol.  I'm not sure why variant spelling was used.

Also, files.c doesn't use loadsyms[], it calls a routine which returns
a pointer to a specific element in that array.
