This yielded commit 4ed8f09 "Index SLRUs by 64-bit integers rather than by
32-bit integers" and left some expressions coercing SLRU page numbers to int.
Two sources:

  grep -i 'int\b.*page' $(git grep -l SimpleLruInit)
  make && touch $(git grep -l SimpleLruInit) && make PROFILE=-Wconversion 2>&1 | less -p '.int. from .int64. may alter its value'

(Not every match needs to change.)

SlruFileName() makes 15-character (60-bit) file names.  Where does the 48-bit
limit arise?  How does the SlruFileName() comment about a 24-bit limit for
short names relate this comment's 16-bit limit?
