       | 32-bit is essentially dead outside of weird scenarios like
       | companies still running Windows XP. Even the cheap Android phones
       | should all be 64-bit these days.
       | 
       | So unless you really need to support old hardware (or
       | microcontrollers I guess), it means you can now confidently do
       | fun stuff like cramming data into the 64-bit user data pointer in
       | callback APIs.
