   This is an assembler; you just have a separate directive per line. A simple   
   way of mixing them is to somehow allow multiple instructions/directives per   
   line. If you use ";" to separate them, then:   
      
     db 10; dw 20; dd 30; dq 40   
      
   defines 15 bytes: 1 byte of 10, 2 containing 20, and the 4 and 8 containing 30   
   and 40. And the latter two can also contain labels. Not that pretty, but not   
   requiring much invention either.   
      
   (My own assembler is mostly for generated code that I will rarely see, so the   
   data is on separate lines. And when I do write it manually, usually that will   
   be inline in some HLL where the data is generally part of the HLL which has a   
   type system to help    
   out. However, inline ASM in the HLL does allow the ";" separator so I can do   
   the above.)
