Now that we have 64-bit computing, we can run 64-bit apps, and integer overflow happens at 2^63 not 2^31. So the safe range has increased by a factor of 2^32, the well-known 4G number.
While one could do that, there are all kinds of reasons why one might not want to do that. For an idea as to one of the reasons why, you might look at why even on 64-bit Solaris, sizeof(int) == 4.
