+   Many important relaxing opportunities within functions are already

+   Here we try to replace  call (4 bytes) ->  rcall (2 bytes)
+   and jump -> rjmp (safes also 2 bytes).  
+   As well we now optimize seqences of 
+     - call/rcall function

+     - ret
+   the ret could no longer be reached it is optimized away. In order
+   to check if the ret is no longer needed, it is checked that the ret's address
+   is not the target of a branch or jump within the same section, it is checked
+   that there is no skip instruction before the jmp/rjmp and that there
+   is no local or global label place at the address of the ret.
+   
+   We refrain from relaxing within sections ".vectors" and
+   ".jumptables" in order to maintain the position of the instructions.  
+   There, however, we substitute jmp/call by a sequence rjmp,nop/rcall,nop
+   if possible. (In future one could possibly use the space of the nop 
+   for the first instruction of the irq service function.
+
+   The .jumptables sections is meant to be used for a future tablejump variant
