That might not matter to a given module but could cause some unexpected
difficulties with macro expansions that might have an operand something
like "*+n", taking advantage of "knowing" how long the current instruction
is.

That's a good point! And currently there's no SYSSTATE setting that can be used to toggle whether LD instructions are available -- therefore, no way for the macros to know they should/can expand differently. Guess we're SOL until the next level set unless you can think of a good workaround. :-(
