I think this would be a mistake. Capability-based machines are more
secure, and security is growing in importance. It is not clear to me that
we can assume that *all* pointers will be totally ordered. I think we can
assume that all pointers from a single allocation domain are totally ordered.
(This would mean, for instance, that you could compare two pointers from
the primary heap, but you could not compare a heap pointer with a stack
pointer.

We already have two's complement in the intN_t types.

Asking for 8-bit bytes seems a bit harder.
