Hi Honza,

sorry for not being able to review the earlier version you had
sent in a timely manner.  This looks good (= please commit) once
you made the two changes Jonathan suggested and the ones below.

And impressive list of contributions!!

"such an object"

I believe it's "linking with" (also in other cases).

And I'm not sure, "produce final binary into the object file" feels
a little odd.

"such an object file" or "such object files"?

"benefits"
