I don't think that would be all that useful really.
For one thing, that would mean some user option affects the python
API -- this can already happen, but it's a pain when it does.
If the encoded Ada name is needed, it would be better to add a separate
method. But, I don't think it's needed. It's just an artifact of the
way that GNAT worked around DWARF limitations in a particular era (an
ongoing era in some ways).
