The other (now rare) job of the assembler is to process human-written assembly code.  There too it must stay out of the way, because the only time when hand-written assembly code is justified is when the human needs *complete* control over what happens.

At least for VLIWs or some weird accelerators you'd want automaticscheduling and reg. allocation from assembler. Otherwise it'spractically impossible to write assembly code by hand in a scalable way.
