It might be weird, but it's traditional. Also the symbol information is sometimes useful: for example on Linux Valgrind understands it and can tell you which function has memory errors, or give you a profile (perhaps only useful for people working on the RTS like me). I don't feel that strongly about it though. Cheers, Simon
