Btw, we have quite a few commands that accept addresses as argument,
but the manual never explicitly tells what is a valid address
specification, except piece by piece spread between the individual
commands.

Unless I'm missing something, I'd like to add a node with an
exhaustive definition of an address (or LINESPEC), and then add
cross-references to that place whenever we talk about addresses. Does
the below list all the possible use cases?

. LINENO
. FILENAME:LINENO
. FUNCTION
. FILENAME:FUNCTION
. +OFFSET
. -OFFSET
. *FUNCTION
. *FILENAME:FUNCTION
. *EXPRESSION
