This is a faster/smaller (and also obfuscated) replacement for the normal reverse a.

Typical routine:

;input: b
;output: a
;25 bytes, 96 clock cycles
typicalreversea:
	rr b
	rla
	rr b
	rla
	rr b
	rla
	rr b
	rla
	rr b
	rla
	rr b
	rla
	rr b
	rla
	rr b
	rla
	ret

Better routine:

;- Reverse a
;input:	byte in A
;output: Reversed byte in A
;destroys B
;18 bytes and 66 clock cycles
