Not having access to >4GB at all in a process would be inconvenient, but maybe we can bring back the NEAR and FAR pointers from the 16-bit era, but this time for 32/64-bit pointers?
SSDs are getting so ridiculously fast now that it’s absolutely feasible to just naively load (or mmap) any large file into memory.
