There's an ongoing debate about the best approach to evolve scripting capabilities. On one hand, there's recognition of the importance of conserving opcode space; on the other hand, introducing new features like a hypothetical OP_ENABLE64BIT could complicate things further. The suggestion here is that instead of adding such features that alter the interpreter's behavior invisibly, it would be more prudent to focus on formal specifications for the Script Virtual Machine (VM) and integrate new 64-bit opcodes directly into the VM. This perspective warns against opening what is referred to as "Pandora's box" by adopting changes that might introduce unforeseen complexities in the scripting environment.
