Assembly language programmers:
Do you see any use at all for an instruction STORE register Y in the memory location pointed to by register Y ?
I am writing my own 8-bit computer emulator for a machine with an ISA I designed myself, and the quest for orthogonality has led to this.

Why would you? Effectively you are storing the address of the address at the address. It would get more complicated if there where post/pre increments or index offsets involved.
