Some work has been done to make integers and long integers a bit more
interchangeable. In 1.5.2, large-file support was added for Solaris,

the result to multiply a sequence or slice a string, but this raised a

It's possible to address that much memory on a 64-bit platform,
however. The pointers for a list that size would only require 16GiB
