Well, even without symbol versioning this could be done, by just making
a __strong_reference() between the symbols, but I decided not to do so.
I think solutions like these are perfect when just renaming/removing a
couple of symbols, but because we're basically touching everything, I
thought we'd better just use the old approach.
