It's a chunk of a bigger symbol. Like, if we already have a symbol for an 
unknown value of a structure written in a certain region, then the symbol for a 
field of this structure would be a derived symbol from that first symbol for 
the field region.

Now, the only reason we have symbols for structures (or sometimes even for 
entire memory spaces) is because of invalidation. What remains is to tweak the 
patch in order to account for different kinds of invalidation.
