The `$label` syntax is not a thing, BUT it could be!! I managed to hack it together for uxnasm in a couple of lines of code

This stuff is sorta possible with the current syntax using a bunch of macros like these:
```
%Vector/size$ { $4 }
%Player/size$ { $9 }

@player-1 Player/size$
```
but this approach requires adjusting all paddings by hand in case any size changes.

@bellinitte OOoooh! you think padding should support labels?

@neauoire if all the machinery is already in place and it's not a huge pain in the butt to implement in drifblim and friends, then yea, I think it would be cool :) I use this approach all over the place in this program i'm writing

btw, got this idea from you talking about enums in this list lists.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn/%3CCA

@bellinitte ..it's genius. I can think of so many places where I'd use that.

@neauoire I love uxntal, let me tell you. You want to assign a name to an address in memory? Labels! Maybe assign some names to devices and their ports? Labels! Need enums? Use labels! Structs? yeah you can just use labels!

@bellinitte it's nice that we keep on finding new things to do with so few moving parts

@bellinitte really easy to write some nice lil accessor macros too:

%Player/position@ { .Player/position ADD LDZ2 }
