The problem with such a feature is that SYMBOL_VECTORs are order dependent. 
If you add a new routine to the middle of your C (or Fortran or Pascal 
or...) module, you want the new PROCEDURE entry to be at the END of the 
symbol vector.  Of course, the compiler wouldn't know how to do that.  Each 
"automatically generated symbol vector" might have a different order than 
the prior one.
