The compiler already does use such a structure, i.e. the highlevel
(node) code generator calls routines in the backend codegenerator which
output the actual assembler instructions.
If you would output a macro instead of the indivudual instructions you
would get what you describe. The current approach is at least as flexible
though, so I see little benefit.
