Whilst I understand the “should,” people, including me, are so used to
ULONGs, pointers and the like being so conveniently the same size, and
having been so since day 1 of a flat virtual-memory space, that the
reality is there’s a whole lot of relearning and rethinking to be done.
Let me put it differently: Are you willing to swear every piece of your
own code would properly function in a 128-bit address space, with no
more than recompilation? (If you are, good for you.)
