Unfortunately not.

The problem is that we want to

* import the symbol 'foo', satisfying undefined references to it.
* internalize it

If the order is changed, the IRMover will just rename 'foo'.

It would be nice to do this without using strings, but I think that is
what is currently possible with the existing IRMover.

Yes, a comment with, for example, the above explanation would be nice :-)
