Research direction

Start by locating the pioasm entry point and the code that converts labels to line numbers. Check how generated output is consumed by MicroPython and C, then define completion as preserving textual labels while retaining usable instruction references for both workflows.

Description

pioasm

pioasm replaces labels with line numbers. This is unfortunate. Please don't do that.

(a) Micropython can deal with textual labels, no problem at all.
(b) For C I'd like to be able to refer to a specific instruction so that I can send a jump command to PIO. Currently I need to look at the generated code and/or count instructions, and woe is me when that location changes.
