concise and readable are always tricky -  can we compromise on :  
OBJ_MACH_O_FILE_PROP_SUBSECTS_VIA_SYMS

I am concerned that someone readin g the code might get mixed up  
between this property and the subsections (which we don't use).

... if you have an alternative - then just go ahead with that - in the  
end the functionality is what matters ;-)

thanks again,
Iain
