I'm pretty sure Benoit has never had malicious intent when 
developing Gambas, but rather wanted to make it more like "real" 
programming languages such as C and Java.  You don't get access 
to the symbols at run time in those either.... it's pretty much 
just VB and some interpreted languages.  

Generally speaking, it is bad programming practice to write code 
that depends on information that is normally only available at 
compile time, but as you said, you just want to use it to debug.
