This is already mostly done.

But what about labels for jump-points?

Can you clarify?  I'm not sure what you mean by this.  What about two 
different variables that can be read or written?  Which one should take 
priority??  I agree that for certain known registers that are 
read-only, they can be eliminated from write commands (and vice-versa), 
but that still leaves the aforementioned possibility.
