Wow, a 10,000 line PIC project, that is a lot! I really admire you.
but then why not use C for it? Probably it will be reduced to 
1000-2000 line. :) C is better in "hiding data" than assembly. :)

My 0.5k 12F629 program in assembly is 1400 lines and my 2k 16F872 
program in PICC is again about 1400 lines with more comments line. :)

Imagine working on a 10,000 line PIC project and having to make sure that
every local symbol in each little routine is unique accross the whole
project.  That's difficult enough if writing the whole thing from scratch.
In reality, some chunks are going to come from previous projects, and they
will can't have local symbols with the same name as any other local symbol
either, even though the imported code may have been written years earlier.
