In my opinion though, this would be a good thing.  For example with
the old readelf the output would contain lines like this:

   51: 0000000000000000     0 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND getpa@GLIBC_2.2.5 (2)

Which is surely misleading as there is no function called "getpa".
Using -W gets the full function name:

   51: 0000000000000000     0 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND
getpagesize@GLIBC_2.2.5 (2)

Admittedly the ellipsis does mean that the output does look overly
abbreviated, but at least it does not lie.

Cheers
  Nick
