Regardless of the outcome how to spell this on the cmdline, can the force-mode please be explicitely documented as doing stuff "even if it increases section size", at least in the .info docu (not necessarily in --help output). Because, knowing users trying random options, they might be tempted to use the force-mode, because "it surely will be better" and the remark would hopefully deflect this. Ciao, Michael.
