Didn't you suggest that anything in a library residing in /usr/lib or
/usr/local/lib be excluded?  That's not quite the same thing as what
I was musing about.  I was talking about marking individual symbols.

Symbols can be global or static.  On elf-supporting symbols global
symbols can also be marked "weak".  On windows they could be marked
"no-export".
