in merlin, you can do the following
	label1	lda $10
	:1	lda $20
	label2	lda $10
	:1	lda $20

and the labels with ':' as the first character are local to the most recent
global variable.

is this possible in orca/m? i have seen code that does
	label1
	loop1
	label2
	loop2
	<etc>
but that looks real ugly. maybe a macro can do what i want?
