Right.  And more importantly any reasonable compiler will handle
reasonable debugging pass-through.  What we want to address here is not
automatic detection, but a way to add markup to pure assembly generated
by a human.

This markup could be annotated directly, or embedded into macros.  It
would be absolutely required to differentiate between a list of 8-bit
integers and an 8-bit string.  It could enhance functions to support
argument and local stack variables.
