Suggestion: Add `.ADDR` as direct alias to `.WORD` #222

Closed Kroc closed 5 years ago

Other assemblers (such as CA65) have .ADDR as an alias to .WORD purely for readability within code making it easier to see when, in tables of data, values are arbitrary vs. ROM/RAM locations.

I can't say whether 65816 code should use 2-bytes for .ADDR or 3, but an .LADDR directive could handle the long-address form accordingly.

I just checked CA65's documentation and it seems that .ADDR is 16-bit while .FARADDR is 24-bit. But sure, I can add these to WLA.
