I suggest just %pS<type>
With %pS, struct ksym is probably not all that
useful unless it's for something like a sscanf.
Today there are these symbol uses:
name, offset, size, modname
So perhaps %pS<foo> where foo is any combination of:
n name
o offset
s size
m modname
a all
and if not specified is a name lookup ("%pSn").
