That was the intent, yes. I sort of implied it by saying "-U switches"
(plural) above. But to be explicit, yes, multiple -U options would be
honored just as they are now, no change in that functionality.

Yes. The main point was that if *no* -U options were on the command line AND
an ELF file is used as the input file, then it would default to the
"automatic sequence" described above.

Great! :-)
