Just to sharpen the conversation, the "should" question is more whether we "should make that _one thing_ easy". I suspect (but do not know) that "symbols are only the beginning". You can only tell so much from a name. People will soon after want metadata on symbols. Eg., `procs` can have many overloads. The ambitious and judicious folk can use `parseStmt(whole file)` for anything already.
In short, I tend to agree with @Krux02's final pre-close PR comment. Some more completely thought out API seems more prudent.
