For my half-penny's worth, this is the way I'd like to see it go.
Explicit is better than implicit and all that.

If you need more than 32-bits, you can explicitly use them.

The implicit change to make them all 64-bits which results in some 
unknown slowdown for all "I" BTree users seems a bit too scary to bite 
off...
