If you are creating a program for the C64 at $C000-$CFFF, then
assemble it.

Rather than try to replace cc65, improve it. Then each feature on your
list is added to what cc65 already provides.

For example, an external function call interface for lc_65816, so
libraries can be written with cc65 code for the stock C64 and SuperCPU
code if the SuperCPU is available.

Also, it would make sense to use "register" declarations for local
variables that could benefit substantially from being in ZP locations,
since the idea of a register declaration seems to be widely understood
in the C world.
