thought about just going for an array of symbol names
or hashes of symbol names where any matching symbol is
considered address significant? This would sidestep the
problem of keeping the symbol table indices in sync.

by the language. It works using a set of heuristics (symbol name matching
and relocation scanning). That's not only imprecise but it only works with
certain languages and is slow due to the need to demangle symbols and scan
