Description
I very often need to check whether a symbol is exported. It'd be nice to get a function to access this property of a symbol, in addition to definition, strongness/weakness and locality.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing symbol accessors for definition, strongness or weakness, and locality, then trace how symbols are represented across the supported object-file formats. Done means a public function exposes whether a symbol is exported with behavior consistent across those formats; the issue names no files or tests, so the relevant entry points must first be found.
