dso_list and executable identification (their build-id) are also part of the
core file.  It is only filesystem defect it can map filename -> content but it
cannot map build-id -> content.  There are many indexing solutions for it,
including slocate, when you have started to talk about not 100% reliable
solutions.

If you really mean all that info does belong to a core file then I no longer
have any objections, Linux kernel can put a lot of redundant info into the
core file.
