Obviously gcc's I don't like double quotes here, because it looks something different, like in C. Would it make some sense if we take the approach for MIPS and AArch64 [1], so mov eax, %ecx or mov eax, :ecx denotes `ecx` is the name of a label, and otherwise a register. Also, such a prefix should be optional, so people who write assembly can omit it if they carefully avoid such names. [1] https://maskray.me/blog/2023-05-08-assemblers
