Yes, that was me ;-)
I reverted it because there are still 32bit systems out there and, after
checking, I couldn't find anything that said that printing was now 64bit
only. This meant to myself that it probably is a bug, but, now you have
said the above, it sounds like a bug in our documentation, or rather
lack of it.
