IMHO it's time to submit a requirement for SLIP proceesing of program
objects. The stated requirement should be to provide a documented and
supported way of providing an offset within a csect, and I'd advice
giving two suggested implementations:
1. Add syntax to SLIP to specify module.csect.offset, with SLIP
doing any necessary lookups and arithmetic.
2. Add an option to AMBLIST to produce a module-relative offset
list of sections and entry points.

What about the case where the sections of the program object are not,
and cannot be, loaded contiguously?
