Speaking of which, here's a question for everybody. I was wondering whether 64 bits is necessary. It takes an hour of concerted effort - nothing but "module.d = 1; del module.d" for an hour straight - to overflow a 32-bit version number. Is anybody going to actually get close to doing that in a global namespace?
Of course not. And 640k is as much memory as anyone could reasonably need ...
Point taken - forget I asked.
