(32*8)-bit pointers and (16*8)-bit ints, WOW  :-)
(just to be consistent with my signature)

Finally, floats have become unnecessary (well, almost)... a 128-bit
signed integer would have a range of -1.7E38 .. 1.7E38. Now all we
need is a way to have fractions as well ?|

You obviously meant "sizeof(char *) == 4 and sizeof(int) == 2" .
