The sole reason why I converted to 128 bits was because I wanted to add
dozens of new affect flags, such as AFF_IMMUNE_FIRE, AFF_ENTANGLE,
AFF_NAUSEA, AFF_DISEASE, etc. Within one day of bleary-eyed coding, I had
added 51 affect flags but would have never been able to do it with a 32 or
64 bit code.
