Either that, or the ordering of the symbols in our data structures can
change.

I thought about this too, actually. I think it's a great idea. The
patch will be slightly larger, but I can export the new code into

the code a bit cleaner in any case.
If you prefer, you can also take my patch, adapt it, and do the commit.
