Hey hey... it occurs to me... it would still not be ideal (memory
waste) but could we look up the minimal symbol and change its demangled
name?  It would require:
  - changing the interface for setting symbol names
  - rehashing the minsyms incrementally

[And do we want to?  That's kind of dubious, to have a symbol's name
change.]
