This is a very nice feature. I like it too. You might want to rename

initialise_dumps_byname to initialize_dumps_byname 
-        [@option{-x} <number>|@option{--hex-dump=}<number>]
+        [@option{-x} <number or name>|@option{--hex-dump=}<number or name>]

'section number or name' will be nice.
