-      .tocd
-      define some data
-      .text
-      refer to the data with a [tocv] qualifier
-   In general, one sees something to indicate that a tocd has been

-   docs seem to suggest that anything with the TOCDEFN qualifier should
-   never trigger storage allocation. However, in the kernel32.lib that
