Idiom #160 Detect if 32-bit or 64-bit architecture

Execute f32() if platform is 32-bit, or f64() if platform is 64-bit.
This can be either a compile-time condition (depending on target) or a runtime detection.

import System.Info
detectArch :: IO ()
detectArch = do
    case arch == "x86_64" of
        True -> do f64
        False -> case arch == "x86" of
                    True -> do f32
if constexpr(sizeof(nullptr) == 8) {
  f64();
} else {
  f32();
}

This tests the size of a pointer.
