Actually, there is a task at hand, which is to have a assembler/linker
more compatible with the code sdcc C compiler hc08 code generator
currently generates. So to that end, it's just a practical problem we're
attempting to solve.

Anyway there have been two part and structured assemblers around for a
very long time. I don't think it's because of C programmers... assembly
programmers want more expressive power and leverage from their tools,
just like everyone else. I think that's the reason such enhancements
occur...
