I don't think we made an explicit choice to use short names. gdb and
addr2line just give you short names if you lack information about
parameters, classes, and namespaces. I could be wrong though.

I don't think our requirements are that surprising: users should be able to
take a stack dump with a standard stack dumping tool (gdb, addr2line, or
chrome's breakpad crash server) and get usable symbols (names that include
their scope).

Anyway, we all agree it requires measurement. I was mostly trying to gauge
interest, to see if this is a problem that other users are encountering.

I'd forgotten about Nico's RFC for -gmlt, so yes, it sounds like there is
interest in revisiting this tradeoff.
