Changing intobject to use int rather than long

Does anyone think (or know) that it might cause any internal problems
if the ival member of the struct defining an intobject were to be
changed from its current "long int" to just "int"?

When you move your application to a 64-bit system in order to get a
bigger address space to store your millions/billions of integers in
RAM, but they get twice as big, you don't gain very much.

Thanks.
