I've written code that uses memory mapped registers. Even in programs 
that manipulate hardware directly, the percentage of code that does this 
is vanishingly small. It is a very poor cost/benefit ratio to support 
such a capability directly.

It's more appropriate to support it via peek/poke methods (which can be 
builtin compiler intrinsics), or inline assembler.
