</span>Yesterday Rui remarked that global symbol names are already uniqued in<br>
the symbol table. I first thought about reusing the hash, but then<br>
decided to try something even simpler: don't unique strings from the<br>
symbol table. This means we would duplicate a string if a local symbol<br>
has the same name as a global, but merge other cases.<br>
<br>
In both clang and scylladb I get the same exact same strtab sizes<br>
(1.02X smaller and 1.026X smaller), but now the slowdowns are just<br>
1.0058X and 1.00106X.<br>
