Even if it can, I'm not sure it would be the best thing to do:

sequence label
label "hello"
puts(1, label)

just looks a tad strange to me. Sure, you can figure it out, but I do not think
it leads to ease of learning or use.

label is somewhat of a generic name... For instance:

label = "Hello"

label of what? for what? a button? a text field? a label you print on barcode?
