I suppose, though personally I wouldn't feel any great urgency for
that. A positive inum ends up only, what, 3 bits less than a ulong,
and a 512Mb array would be more than likely bigger than one could do
real work with on a 32-bit machine.
What is worth worrying about though would be making sure the "len *
uvec_sizes[type]" in make_uvec doesn't overflow, perhaps wrapping
around to a small size which is successfully malloced. I guess
currently with a maximum 8 in uvec_sizes and maximum
MOST_POSITIVE_INUM for the count it's ok.
