But I don't see how the symbol, in the form you've added it, achieves 
that.  How do you ensure that applications using the new feature have an 
undefined reference to this symbol?  And in any case a symbol that is not 
part of the public API, but is exported from shared libraries, needs to be 
in the implementation namespace (__*).
