Sure, it can be done now. Original intention was to use program 
resources and that is why it ended up being here.

OK

Sure, will add.

OK, can change this.

I don't know if symbol table can be trusted as variables that get 
optimized away or changed in some way are still there. Only way to be 
sure is to iterate IR or use resource list. Also, symbol table gets 
destroyed after linking. My first implementation was using a hash but 
that was also bad idea because variables names do not necessarily match 
exactly.

No, I haven't seen this test using explicit locations. This patch also 
makes the interface matching pass.

Linker will need to do much more so maybe do separately, at least for now?

Variable names get mangled during optimizations so symbol table should 
have the correct names left during linking.

OK, will change.

It is 'future-proofing' if/when we will have some desktop rules here as 
well. My assumption was that we will have some but looking at how Nvidia 
driver works, I don't think they have any rules at all for this so might 
be that it will not happen.
