The task itself is easy. The consequences of this may not be so easy:
TComponent is a basic class. Many many instances are created during the
lifetime of an application. Adding a field that adds 4/8 bytes to such a
class is something we're not eager to do, since it has potentially a large
impact on the memory consumption of existing apps.
Components consume much space already, so what's the percentage that a
64 bit type would add to every component, and to the app? And when the
Tag type/sice depends on the target, nothing will change unless for 64
bit targets.
