That's what Apple, Inc. calls "Screen Holes."  Looks like we have a 
failure to communicate there. ;-)

Ayup.

I'm not sure I can improve on Payton's description.  It was quite good. 
  You tell cc65 what areas of memory to use, and it uses them.  I'm not 
sure you can define a single segment that, say, occupies several 
non-contiguous areas, though - and I _suspect_ that's what you're after. 
  If I have non-contiguous areas I want to occupy, they each have a 
unique name and contents.
