It's target-specific what constitutes pure assembly so this would be
non-trivial.  People typically use \t delimiters around the instruction which
is a good idea anyway and then the file directive wouldn't match.

I think what would also be a useful improvement (I was actually thinking about
doing this) if with verbose you could see the actual matches that the scan*
infrastructure made.  Something like this in your case:

.file >>clz<<.c
