Is it easy/possible to run code with 32 bit pointers on a modern 64 bit OS?

I don't see how 32/64 bit has any effect on the size of a list.  At least
if the list is tightly specified.  uint32 as opposed to uint.  Maybe
if you pack the structure, or encode things tighter you might make some
headway.
