 It's easy to find out which C files look at symbols from which other C
 files.  If we combine that with the ability to know which C files belong
 to which modules, and which functions should move to _other_ C files,
 we'll be in good shape for a low-impact redividing of our source code into
 well-considered modules, to further simplify our modulewise callgraph.
