The reason for this code is that many places use an int to hold buffer
positions. All these places are bugs; they should use EMACS_INT
instead. This code hides those bugs.
I'd say it prevents them from really being bugs.
If people want to fix those places to handle larger buffers,
I have no objections. However, I doubt your physical memory will
support very many 2-gig strings.
