   This is quite obvious:   
      
   By putting them in this order, all the registers that were capable of   
   memory ops were located in one group, i.e. 3-7.   
      
   Anyway, I personally agree with James here: Your idea is pretty much   
   bonkers but since it won't affect anyone else it really doesn't matter.   
   :-)   
      
   Merry Christmas everyone!
