It's a good thing you don't believe what you say, because this is false.
Crays have either 24 or 32 bit addressing:

Cray-1:     24
Cray X/MP:  24
Cray-2:     32
Cray Y/MP:  24-bit Instruction, 32-bit Data

This function is occasionally useful as an argument to other functions
that require functions as arguments. -- Guy Steele, Jr.
