Subject: Struct :symbol vs 'string' difference

ruby 1.6.6 (2001-12-26) [i586-linux]

Bar = Struct.new('Bar', :a, :b, :c)
Bar.new(1, 2, 3) -> #<Struct::Bar a=1, b=2, c=3>

Foo = Struct.new(:Foo, :a, :b, :c)
Foo.new(1, 2, 3) -> #<Foo Foo=1, a=2, b=3, c=nil>

I'm wondering why there is this difference, which I found surprising.
