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 (__*).
