All good stuff.
But a reasonable amount of that can be achieved by use of more
meaningful names in assembler.
There's no rule against meaningful names AND comments as well :-).

Gains can also be had from multiple naming (Danger! Will Robinson)
variables. The latter either in parallel or series.
A <--B, A <--C   versus  A <-- B <-- C. In part this depends on
whether your tool allows this.
This of course also opens up grand opportunities to destroy yourself
if you wish to allow them.
A certain amount of discipline and systems approach is needed to do
such things - but anyone who programs in assembler without such is
probably headed for disaster anyway :-). (Disciplines can be enforced
'programmatically)(lint for assembler?) or manually. The latter
probably only for high wire without a net types.
