Sure. When I was out looking to buy my 65802 Brian Willoughby at
microsoft told me he'd made up a set of macros for the 65802
in his souped-up //+. (brianw@microsoft.com i believe) I have
started writing similar macros but the small problem is just
that without a lot of if-then stuff (some of which may not even
be possible), you'd need a different macro name for each addressing
mode (ick). Also the code wouldn't be real readable:

     clc
     >>>    lda point
     >>>    adc 4
     bne    blah

etc.
