<div dir="ltr">The use case for this is in Julia backtraces. We don't have a consistent way to mangle the function names for linkage (we might at some point in the future, but this is out of scope for now). Instead, we save whatever we want displayed in AT_name, but there's no way to access that with the public API (it works nicely in gdb/lldb though). </div>
