It is the typical way to do it.  However, long ago, someone pointed out
that this sequence burns 4 bytes to add 1 byte of addressability.

And to preserve the sanity of any poor soul who has to look at the resultant
listings or a dump. Heck, I'd burn 8 bytes for that!

And anyway, nowadays, the LA is likely to be for addressing data, not code,
as the code would use relative addressing so the extra LA (or whatver) doesn't
eat into the extra addressability.
