I think the exception is that pack options N is declared as always 32
bit, so why should it behave as 64bit.
Thats the only reason for me, if it's no reason than it's okay to drop
the overflow stuff, but please change the manual so it doesnt promise
you an 32bit int as http://php.net/manual/en/function.pack.php
does.
