Some processors distinguish between "load" (memory to register) and
"store" (register to memory), and the destination and LHS operand of
binary operations might be the same register, for example:

     CLC ; clear the carry
     LDA first ; accumulator := byte at first
     ADCA second ; accumulator := accumulator + byte at second + carry
     STA result ; byte at third := accumulator
