That's terribly inconsistent, SYM_TEXT_SECTION is in fact
PUSH_TEXT_SECTION, ASM_PUSH_SECTION is in fact ASM_PUSH_TEXT_SECTION and
should be stringify(PUSH_TEXT_SECTION()) or something, and they're all
repeating that ASM_TEXT_SECTION thing :/

*URGH* why do we have to have new macros for this? SYM_FUNC_START*()
already takes the name as argument.
