Are the symbols paired? If so, the difference is
absolute; if the SETA fails, report it as a bug.
Does EQU support complex relocatable values?
Look ahead should make no difference; It should apply
alike whether the expression is an operand of SETA
or of EQU.

I have macros that need to set the values of a SET symbol to the difference of
two relocatable symbols. I can generate an EQU and refer to it in the SETA, but
that's ugly. Is there a cleaner way, or an RFE to provide one? Ideally I'd like
a transfer function or a new pseudo-op.
