I was thinking it'd be good to do this by modifying SYM_CODE_START() to emit the section, that way nobody can forget to put any SYM_CODE into a special section. That does mean we'd have to first introduce a new variant for specifying a section that lets us override things that need to be in some specific section and convert everything that's in a special section over to that first which is a bit annoying but feels like it's worth it for the robustness.
