It would be somewhat less difficult than C++ symbols because Java doesn't
have interfaces that change based on the word size or low-level data types
of the hosting platform, which is where a lot of the complexity of C++
symbol handling comes in.
We would need to store something equivalent to the C++ mangled name so
that we can capture all the details of the ABI.
