Sorry for the late reply.

Luis, can you give more details of your idea? I re-read it once, then
came back and still don't understand.

I see that there are ~10 users for symbol_get() currently. Do you want
to stringify symbol names at build time to completely remove
symbol_get() from module.h? Correct me if I'm wrong since using of a
fuction which is not declared anywhere sounds confusing.
