.coguser0 & Co

Based on the cog_c_toggle demo, which states: 
/*
 * function to start up a new cog running the toggle
 * code (which [B]we've placed in the .coguser1 section[/B])
 */
I assume once you run out of user sections (0..7) you're stuck, i.e. the number of functions started this way is limited. Is this correct?

    There is nothing to prevent you from adding more .coguser sections in a custom linker script and there are other ways to start code running in a COG. This linker script mechanism was setup to make it possible to share variables between code running in another COG and code the program that launches it.

    OK, that makes sense. Thanks.
