mmmh. i could omit the scopes in the output file... yes. however, thats not 
really ideal, since they are then lost (obviously) and the original structure 
of the code can not be gathered from the output file (which is one of the 
goals). :/

oh sure, i understand that ... the question is if you wont do it because of 
lack of time/interest/priorities (which is both perfectly understandable) - 
or if you are generally against it (there might be a good reason to not do it 
afterall). the latter should be discussed - and if in doubt i can (and will) 
create a patch for the assembler (but i have no interest in doing that if it 
wont be included afterwards =)).
