MPASM certainly can't do that.  The scheme I talked about is not fully
automatic.  I have the UNBANK macro which invalidates all bank
assumptions.  It is usually used at labels where execution can come from
more than one point.  At other places like subroutine entries and call
points I already use macros that automatically do an UNBANK.

Microsoft MASM is the best assembler I've ever used, and it can do what
you ask but is only for the Intel x86 processors.  Unfortunately MPASM is
pretty stupid in its handling of macro arguments.
