gollark: Macron pointers are also 512 bits, so that they can contain, as well as just memory addresses, inlined data, IPv6 addresses, errors, tags for tagged union purposes, cryptographic keys, names of people to ask, other programs to invoke to "dereference" it, files, or URLs.
gollark: Yes. Keep up.
