I would like to start a new mi-cmd-symbol.c file, if we decide to have
the new command in the symbol category.

I think this has been sorted out now, right?
Approved, but see below for a few issues, mainly the name of the command....

I wonder if it would be more pertinent to call it symbol-list-lines
or make it part of the file commands, even though the distinction is blurry.

Use mi_run_to_main which does all of the above for you. I know you
don't need a running program, but, might as well.

Don't use basics.c, use ${srcfile}.

Ok otherwise.
The below shouldn't be committed.
