Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 Of course in theory we could hack something together that whenever
 something touches GetTime we could mark that reg_t as timer related and
 expand it to a DWORD, which would then make it roll over after ages, but
 basically everything would have to get adjusted.
 Pointers were WORDs in original SCI, that also was a hard memory limit
 (64k), but our SCI doesn't do that, instead it uses 2 WORDs, that's why we
 have reg_t.
 This alone already caused tons of issues, that's also why I introduced
 type checking 10+ years ago, because some scripts do math against an
 offset and expect something useful to get returned.

 I don't think it's really worth it, but maybe there is a way that would be
 easier, idk.
