        <pre>This is based on "David Majnemer"'s proposal

Right now we have only

@foo = constant i64 42, section "bar"

and it is up to llvm to guess the flags and type.

we should have something like


$asec = section "bar", alloc, write [,flag]*
@foo = constant i64 42, section $asec

The possible flags would be at least: alloc, exec, write, thread, nobits

note that the name is a property of the section, so it would be possible to
write

$asec = section "bar", alloc
$bsec = section "bar"

this is important for LTO doing the same as a regular link.</pre>
