 * Name: symtab_findorderedbyname
 *
 * Description:
 *   Find the symbol in the symbol table with the matching name.
 *   This version assumes that table ordered with respect to symbol name.
 *
 *   This function is a lot larger than symbtab_findbyname().  This function
 *   not be used, unless the symbol table is large and the performance
 *   benefit is worth the increased size.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   A reference to the symbol table entry if an entry with the matching
 *   name is found; NULL is returned if the entry is not found.
 *
