It's not a problem, it's extra functionality. :-)

That's fair enough if you call it the same thing. You can call the
wrapper "mygpasm" or "peterasm" or something like that, and there's no
confusion. I don't think your changed gpasm is likely to be any less
confusing.
Anyway, it's your system, you can do what you like of course. :-)
