--rename-section OLDNAME=NEWNAME[,FLAGS]
But currently merge nor strings is not accepted as flags there anyway, so it
doesn't matter (and if it is ever accepted, parse_flags and other routines
would need to be changed to propagate new entity size anyway).
So I'll leave just osection->entsize = isection->entsize;, ok?
