That's true, I admit. But you haven't done that for functions (even though it would be equally possible to get rid of InputSection or InputFunction in the same way). I just thinks it really helps comprehension if all the symbol clases are implemented in the same way, rather than differing in ad-hoc ways. Wanting DefinedFunction to work like DefinedGlobal is similar to wanting the wasm Symbol class to match the ELF symbol class.

I don't want to argue though - I'll go with your preference as the code owners, now I've (hopefully) explained my reasoning.
