I think the answer is yes - I am a little confused by "some symbol used
by `foo'", but I think I get what you are trying to ask. Basically, what
the above does, as a side effect, is make sure that the full symbols
for the unit containing `foo' get loaded.  I am not sure why the person
who added it felt that they needed that, but I have used that technique
as a workaround several times in the past when there was a bug with
psymtab searching...
