You argued that one point of you introducing the ALLOCATE_SECTOR directive 
was that it naturally dependend on dot, exactly so that the user does 
_not_ have to deal with the artificial names.

So, a builtin function (however implemented) that actually gets you that 
very size for a given address makes the most sense IMHO.


Ciao,
