How do you do that?
On Posix you use "dlopen", passing in null as the filename to
get a handle to the current executable. Then you iterate the
sections until you find the symbol table. For macOS there's
this reference for the Mach-O binary format [1]. For Mach-O
files there's this helper function as well [3].

Ah, I suspected that. I don't want to go down that path, what of
Windows? But thanks anyway...
