Awesome! This is definitely long overdue...

Proposal seems very reasonable to me, I think the linker logic will
become much nicer overall by making things more explicit.

Strictly speaking, does this need to be a 3.0 feature? I haven't
thought about it, and don't know that part of the code particularly
well, but is the idea it would be too hard to auto-upgrade to this?
