c65 provides
pseudo functions .STRING and .IDENT that let you convert a string literal to a symbol and vice versa. Can I do that in 64tass? Things like str, repr and format seem to operate on the *content* of the symbol, whereas I want its name.
e.g. if i have a symbol fubar and I want to generate .text "fubar" or conversely I have a string "fubar" (e.g. in a macro) and want to generate the symbol fubar.
note: the manual mentions macro
text references via @1 which seems potentially relevant but this is gated to tasm-compatibility mode where a bunch of tass64 features I'm already using no longer work. But it gave me some hope that there would be some other way to do it in normal mode.
