   If an assembler can manage labels just fine over multiple sourcefiles,   
   multiple non-overlapping segments and for structures and even can ceep track   
   changes in emitted code because of opcode changes depending on the distance   
   to the target label than I have no doubt that something simple as keeping   
   track of a few "at use" declared static(!) strings will not be much of a   
   problem either.

   You're again jumping to a fully other language / environment and how it   
   work(s|ed) there.   Try to stay here, and with what the OP asked for.   
      
   > labels don't in general need any management.   
      
   As shown in the above, I think differently.   In *general* they need quite a   
   bit.   Only in fringe cases they need none.
