Is this feature even useful with Lisp?  I find it mostly useless,
here's a typical example:

  git log -L :next-line:lisp/simple.el

Type this command in your repository, then watch the fun.  More fun is
available when Git for some reason decides you asked about some
variable, not a function (and in Lisp we frequently have variables by
the same name as a function).

So I think until we fix this basic deficiency, extending that to more
symbols will just add to the mess.  YMMV.
