What is it that you think you are going to accomplish by loading that much information into RAM? Reading and writing large files does not mean that you have to put the whole thing into a flat sequence.
I agree with Matt; loading an entire large file into a sequence is a Very Bad Idea to begin with. If this is the reason for extending the limit of a single sequence, then I would be against it. If, however, we perceive this built-in limit to be a correctable limitation for overall 64-bit compatibility, then it should be corrected before an official 64-bit release. If one must load an entire large file into memory, he would be better served with allocate()/free() and peek()/poke() instead.
