+/* # Developer notes
+
+- Symbols that start with a double underscore (__) are considered "private"
+
+- Symbols that start with a single underscore (_) are considered "semi-public"; they can be
+ overridden in a user linker script, but should not be referred from user code (e.g. `extern "C" {
+ static mut __sbss }`).
+
+- `EXTERN` forces the linker to keep a symbol in the final binary. We use this to make sure a
+ symbol if not dropped if it appears in or near the front of the linker arguments and "it's not
+ needed" by any of the preceding objects (linker arguments)
+
+- `PROVIDE` is used to provide default values that can be overridden by a user linker script
+
+- On alignment: it's important for correctness that the VMA boundaries of both .bss and .data *and*
+ the LMA of .data are all 4-byte aligned. These alignments are assumed by the RAM initialization
+ routine. There's also a second benefit: 4-byte aligned boundaries means that you won't see
+ "Address (..) is out of bounds" in the disassembly produced by `objdump`.
