I hardly think that in the 64-bit world some new CP "thingie"
was designed to be restricted to the 31-bit world. CP was
designed when all that existed was 31-bit addressing. Claiming
that design is now broken 'cause it hasn't been changed fast
enough to be 64-bit everywhere is just not reasonable. IMO.

Despite some appends that are contrary to what you said, I don't have a
problem with there being some missing pieces.
