Well, there is a big difference between 64K and 4G.

I never had so much trouble even in the 64K days, an array of
pointers to arrays, where each array was up to 64K was good enough
for the problems I was doing at the time.

An int subscript to a double array could be up to 32GB, and again
one can use two dimensional arrays (oops, arrays of object references
to arrays).

Still, I agree that it was a mistake to specify int subscripts
in the first place.
