this was not implemented. The complexity of the patch would increase as
well as the danger of the miscarriage danger. You can see this as a middle
stage, without this change one will have to start over for int64 on 32
bit. Whereby I have to mention that there's no plan to implement this yet,
please note also the performance concerns. It's to see there are more
people interested on that, if such a project exist later, i would
participate on that.
