IMHO symbols files should be mandatory for any new libraries
introduced in the archive.
And we should assert symbols files for everything in main, and fix all
the things.
It's 2018, and we really ought to have sensible and strict symbols
files. And over-exposed things... well we should seal the libraries to
not expose symbols that are should not have been used, and in fact,
have not been used.
