I seem to remember you saying a while back that Euphoria uses 31-bit
integers. The missing bit being used to indicate whether the data at a
location is an address or an integer. Surely this means Euphoria can only
address 2^31 (~2Gig).

Cheeky Request: Any chance of adding 64-bit integers and double length
                floats in the near future? Or auto-promotion if things get
                too big?
