Might be nice, but it may not be practable.

Why not just comment the line which is labeled.

Fdvbp: if:'fill dummy vars before posting
     then:'
       if:
     then: 

Even clearer as you have a lot more space to explain what is going on.

I will grant you that you have to sometime jump through hoops to come up with
meaningful labels and not repeat.
