A possible input to the logic could be: be more paranoid about strings that
will be used by inline asm.

Yeah. However we've traditionally avoided looking within the body of the
inline assembler.
I wonder if the use of '#' and ';' in asm sufficiently standardized to be
checkable (or if this way lies madness)
