I guess so, and yeah, the feature implemented in your patch has value,
thanks for collaborating! It is just that it may fit better as a
complement to the --symfs stuff, that is also for off-box analysis:

--symfs=<directory>::
        Look for files with symbols relative to this directory.

Thanks, will wait for further discussion before applying,
