Note on Q&A: There was a question about the difference between .symopt-4 and .reload /f and indeed for the exercise purpose there was no difference. However I understood the question incorrectly and when I mentioned about forcing mismatched symbols load I meant .reload /f /i that we covered in the previous Frame Episode 0x02.
