st: Labels for factor variables & interactions

In Stata 13, factor variables' labels are displayed (yippee!), but I haven't found a way to apply or access labels for factor variables and interactions.
To clarify, if I regressed the following in the canonical auto database
reg price turn i.rep78 c.headroom#c.trunk
I would like some way to access give a label to the following variables and access it later.
2.rep78, 3.rep78, 4.rep78, 5.rep78 and c.headroom#c.trunk
I know that estout (among other packages) can handle this sort of relabeling as part of its output, but that doesn't work for my purpose. The ideal command would be
label var 2.rep78 "Repair rating equal to 2"
label var c.headroom#c.trunk "Headroom (in.) * Trunk space (cu. ft.)"
But, those unfortunately don't work.
Any suggestions for what would work for the same purpose.
Thanks!
