I generally disapprove of indented labels. None of the perf code has
that and the tools are easy to 'fix'.

My quiltrc contains:

QUILT_DIFF_OPTS="-F ^[[:alpha:]\$_].*[^:]\$"

my .gitconfig contains:

[diff "default"]
                xfuncname = "^[[:alpha:]$_].*[^:]$"

Both avoid diff thinking labels are function names.
