Using a separate, standalone assembler (library or executable) might actually help re-defining the focus of the project, meaning that the complexity of this project would decrease, because it would rely on a separate project for assembling the source code, the sdcc project also relies on external assemblers such as "asXXXX". In addition, this would be a fairly powerful step, too because users could also use other external assemblers such as nasm if they want to.

This would probably be a good step to help the simulator become less monolithic and more modular, and most of the assembler-related shortcomings would be immediately solved, too.

So it's probably worth to think about this some more!
