Thank you HJ, I think it would be good. At the moment it's very common to
use --verbose to debug problems with -L options in makefiles, and I think that
could become a good deal more difficult for end-users if there is also a huge
amount of one-entry-per-symbol-in-the-whole-project debug info coming.
