To not encourage people to accidentally end up writing code that's so 
ctfe/template-heavy that it won't compile with a 32-bit DMD? I don't mean 
that as a snide remark, just a practical consideration.

Plus, in the same way that 64-bit DMD can help shake out 64-bit bugs, 32-bit 
can help shake out memory-usage problems.

OTOH, It seems to be pretty typical, standard, accepted practice in the 
Apple world for older machines to get abandoned *very* quickly, so maybe 
32-bit is already needless on Mac?
