There is a fairly widespread issue that memory-size-related GUCs and

Although Win64 is the *only* platform where that's an issue, maybe
it's worth doing something about. But we shouldn't just fix the sort
code, if we do do something.
(IOW, I don't agree with doing a fix that doesn't also fix work_mem.)
I raised it mostly because this new-to-PG13-code is making the problem worse.
Yeah, we recently got rid of a bunch of inappropriate use of long, so it
seems reasonable to make this new code follow that.
