I don't at all "get" this statement.  Why?  Because fP has built-in
hardwired limits on things that don't even reach 32bit values, as it is.

What do you figure you'd gain by having a 64bit fP?  The file size
limitations were already raised to 64bit levels, and that's the only
thing that makes much difference in fP.  I mean, c'mon, the maximum dummy
variable size is (32KB - 1 byte).  When you already have 64bit storage
limits on disk, what's the gain in recompiling fP as native 64bit when we
have all these wacky, [now] arbitrary, legacy internal limitations present?

If you think it'd run faster, you're more than likely incorrect.
