Not that I can see, no. I guess I might have "overcompensated" when
changing it from AttrNumber - AttrNumber isn't a good idea because that
needs an extra move-zero-extend, because 16bit indexing isn't that well
supported on x86. But that doesn't mean it should be a 64bit number -
to the contrary actually.
