I would hold back on the new file, *for now*. I think cp-support.c
would work.  Doing a grep for ^lookup_ in *.c throws up too many
things that are not clearly symbol table related, but for instance
gdbtypes and charset related. My guess is that the term 'lookup' has
been abused, and we should introduce something more qualifying in the
function names.
