The main reason that speaks against this, in my opinion, is that it would be really confusing if your code stops working when you move it from an application to a library, which is not that rare. Also, while C identifier conflicts due to simple name mangling can lead to unexpected error messages from the C compiler, they are usually really easy to work around. Maybe I could be convinced to optionally support this at some point, however, there are many more important improvements we should be working on before this, in my opinion.
