Downstream (for WASM), we need to know the kind of symbol we're generating for each node. For extern symbols, we have so far been relying a bit a hack, which has recently finally proven itself insufficient. The correct fix for this problem is in this change, but it would have been rather expensive to maintain it conflict-free downstream and it is not WASM-specific otherwise, so I am upstreaming it.
