I looked for this suggestion on the web but found nothing that looked
promising. 

In C++ using "asm" does directly link an arbitrary name to the given vector,
so that is the partial solution I am using. However, in C++ the spell check
is on the mangled arbitrary name, rather than the vector, and while the
compiler will pick up a spelling error in the former, it won't in the
latter. So for this latter case the compile looks good but there is no jump
link, presumably the reason for the spelling check in the first place. The
"asm" technique fails in C as the spell check rejects the arbitrary name and
this kills the declaration.

So a method that does away with the __vector_XX construct to produce the
jump to an arbitrary name would be very welcome, as the compiler could then
detect any spelling error. Darned if I can see how it could be done though.

I am happy to pursue this but would appreciate a few more clues.
