+Section Classes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``SECTIONS`` commands can define classes of input sections:
+
+::
+
+ SECTIONS {
+ CLASS(class_name) {
+ input-section-description
+ input-section-description
+ ...
+ }
+ }
+
+Input section descriptions can refer to a class using ``CLASS(class_name)``
+instead of the usual filename and section name patterns. For example:
+
+::
+
+ SECTIONS {
+ CLASS(c) { *(.rodata.earlier) }
+ .rodata { *(.rodata) CLASS(c) (*.rodata.later) }

`CLASS` could be a file name, conflicting with existing script. But we can accept the risk, and users could use `"CLASS"(.text)` if they want to use `CLASS` as the file name...
