I was a little concerned by the - in the middle, but the (custom)
def-file lexer looks to be treating - the same as ISALPHA() chars.
Nevertheless it would be quite helpful if there were two testcases
here - one with the new directive used in an object file's .drectve
section and another with it used in a .def file.

The other thing is: According to def_exclude_symbols() each
directive is followed by exactly one symbol afaict. Hence
-exclude-symbol (singular) would seem more appropriate for the
option.
