-------------------------------------
The impact will show on 32-bit systems I'm pretty sure of that. We don't care
about hardware archaeology, do we? :)

> The FST uses a single contiguous byte[] under the hood, which in java is
> indexed by int so we cannot grow this over Integer.MAX_VALUE. It also
> internally encodes references to this array as vInt.
> We could switch this to a paged byte[] and make the far larger.
> But I think this is low priority... I'm not going to work on it any time soon.
