AFAIK skpz is a one-instruction 'macro' (that does not take any
parameters), so I see no problem in using it. I do share your objection
to multiple-instruction macro's that look like instructions.

Challenge (intermediate): write a JUMP <LABEL> macro for the 14-bit core
PICs that jumps to the target address. The macro must handle code
paging, hence it will in general expand to more than one instruction.
When preceded by a skip instruction (for instance btfss or skpz) the
JUMP macro must behave as a naive user would expect: the jump must not
be taken, execution must proceed with the instruction after the JUMP.
