It's not useless, but consider, in the light of how long Lisp has been
around, that a beginner asked about such a feature in 2019.

What might be useful is a utility that analyzes a file (either a
compiled .fasl or a source file) without actually loading it, and
produces a data structure that lists the symbols defined in
that file (and perhaps ones that are not defined, but referenced)
along with other info: what kind of thing they refer to and such.

In the C-on-POSIX world, we can inspect object files with "nm", for
instance.
