I guess I'm not convinced of the utility of this. Defining an EQU isn't hard,
and many DSECTs don't end just because the definitions end:
SOME DSECT ,
SOME1 DS A Some address
SOME2 DS F Length of SOME3
SOME3 EQU * Character string starts here
So in cases like that, it seems like this magic length would be misleading.
