No. Not reasonable. The whole "32-bit x86" and "looking forward"
combination makes absolutely zero sense.

I can pretty much guarantee that even *phones* will be 64-bit if/when
x86 ever gets there. They'll need it just for ARM emulation, I bet.

So 32-bit x86 is dead, dead, dead. There's absolutely no future to it.
We're not adding new stuff to "future-proof" it.
