It seems to me that it is generally better to keep architecture-specific memory commands as part of a platform-based library that is imported into the code, depending on where it is being compiled (Separation-of-concerns). Imagine the amount of inappropriate/unnecessary commands that one would create in a language if you moved the superset of all possible memory commands on all possible architectures, into the language itself. There would be enough to make it ugly.
