Maybe we should have a bug-fixing day, or a remote hackathon?  People
would sit down with their favorite MPLAB reference, see how it works
in gpasm versus MPLAB, and post the results with:

0) Is there a difference?
1) Does the difference matter?
2) Does the difference make gpasm better than MPLAB?
3) Does the difference make gpasm worse  than MPLAB?

and optional patches.
