Messy hacks?  I dunno what's messy about:

#pragma segment MySegName

In fact, MPW's segmentation scheme is one of the things that I really like
about MPW compared to THINK, since it allows you to put functions from more
than one segment in a single source file.  I don't always WANT my functions
grouped by segment; sometimes, even often, other arrangements make more sense.

Perhaps this is one of the things that has changed since Guido bought his
copy of MPW.
