well, if there would be another way you would find it strange there if 
that would interfere with whatever else goes into a label text because 
we support arbitrary tex ... no way to figure out what struts, line 
distances, spacing, either of not adapt to current situation, delayed vs 
immediate inclusion, etc ... you can't have both worlds

if course you can make some macro (or define a highlight) and use that 
in the labels
