Comment (by simonmar):

 Right, yes, we could do that.  I didn't consider that kind of thing
 because I have a feeling it would bloat binaries too much (there are a lot
 more case expressions than constructors), but someone could do the
 experiment and find out.

 Putting the info in a debug section as I mentioned before would be a good
 way to avoid the binary bloat, but it makes it more complicated to extract
 again.  If you're going to do that you might as well use the symbol table
 too, rather than duplicate the info in the debug section.
