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.
