@neauoire if all the machinery is already in place and it's not a huge pain in the butt to implement in drifblim and friends, then yea, I think it would be cool 😀 I use this approach all over the place in this program i'm writing

btw, got this idea from you talking about enums in this list https://lists.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn/%3CCAKis%3DaFmUedhNM8pgm8n2YjUj4aM2ozNH6+Gc%3DPQC88SY2oWCw%40mail.gmail.com%3E

The `$label` syntax is not a thing, BUT it could be!! I managed to hack it together for uxnasm in a couple of lines of code

This stuff is sorta possible with the current syntax using a bunch of macros like these:
```
%Vector/size$ { $4 }
%Player/size$ { $9 }

@player-1 Player/size$
```
but this approach requires adjusting all paddings by hand in case any size changes.

I like this very much, lemme see if I can port it to drifblim.

..it's genius. I can think of so many places where I'd use that.

@neauoire I love uxntal, let me tell you. You want to assign a name to an address in memory? Labels! Maybe assign some names to devices and their ports? Labels! Need enums? Use labels! Structs? yeah you can just use labels!

it's nice that we keep on finding new things to do with so few moving parts
