What against a summary of switches in the same chapter describing them in
details or a topical list of switches or some program you cuold run to
generate switches according to user needs (I tried with PWB, but with the
number of not-human readable lines it has generated, I couldn't find 
the switches I needed).

But, I never declared that label in any of my modules.  It was generated
by some switch of the compiler...
