In addition to what Alan said - why would text sections be different here?
Iirc this isn't the first time that you want to treat them specially when
there's no provision for that in the spec. Once that restriction was
removed, I expect your check would trigger on e.g. debugging sections,
indicating that it's wrong to have.
