--- Comment #59 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
NASM is another matter entirely, because NASM is designed to be a
programmer-level assembler, and really has a different bar for the level of
automation one expects.

In gas, other than actually generating the relocations, one can do most things
with macros; certainly enough that the gcc backend should be able to hide most
of the things it needs to do via a preamble and some very minor textual
changes.

I just implemented such a set of macros as a demonstration in the samples git
tree.
