Now I'm starting to wonder if it's a good idea, too: I just noticed
'block_found', which throws a monkey wrench into some of my ideas.
Sigh.  Maybe it really would be wisest to get namespace support
working first.

While trying to understand lookup_symbol_aux, I've cleaned it up a bit
(in order to eliminate duplicate code, etc.); I'll probably submit
patches for those, since I think they'll make it easier to maintain
the function in the future.  But, for now, I'll hold off on any more
serious changes.
