OK. I could make the section an argument to SYM_CODE*() so that a developer
will never miss that. Some documentation may be in order so the guidelines
are clear. I will do the doc patch separately, if that is alright with
you all.

There is just one problem with this. Sometimes, there is some data in the
same text section. That data will not get included when we do the SYM_CODE(section)
change.

Yes, data would need to be handled separately still.  That doesn't seem
insurmountable though?

I will think of something.
