   * 64bit integers (in zvals and related areas) will be used on Win64 and other LLP64 platforms. This means that many current uses of ''long'' will be replaced with a type like ''zend_long'' which is 64bit large on all 64bit platforms.
   * ''size_t'' will be used for string lengths in ''zend_string''. This means that string sizes will be 64bit on 64bit platforms.
-  * ''size_t'' and the 64bit integer type may be used in some other places as well, as long as they do not significantly regress memory usage.
+  * 64bit sizes/integers may be used in some other places as well, as long as the usage does not significantly increase memory usage. E.g. file/stream offsets and ini settings like ''memory_limit'' should support 64bit numbers.
