Hi Tom,

The "segment" command supports the special patch keywords "first" and
"last" but the "patch" command is expected as a post-segment modification
only.

What usage pattern were you expecting here? It seems weird that a residue
definition would only make sense after a patch has been applied.

Cheers,
Brian
