My preference would be to use 'symbols'. I tried to come up with something but 'symbols' is better than anything I came up with.
Maybe 'interfaces' or 'artifacts'. The term 'symbols' is just as imprecise as 'functions'.
I suggested 'identifier' because that's the term used in the C spec (6.2.1):
: An identifier can denote an object; a function; a tag or a member : of a structure, union, or enumeration; a typedef name; a label name; : a macro name; or a macro parameter.
I also prefer this one now. I was looking for something like this. My original idea is 'prototype', but that is only for function.
We could also go with 'declaration' or 'definition'. But I prefer 'identifier'.
