Time for 64-bit longs?

[smv at necis.UUCP]

As long as you're going to go hacking up the C language definitions, why not
introduce a new keyword "very" as in a "very long" (or even a "very short").
This has the advantage that when compiling code for a machine which has no
very long type, you can simply #define very /**/ and forget it.  With long long
you can't do this as easily.

I know that adding any new keywords will cause other problems, but after all,
this topic involves biting bullets of some sort anyway you look at it.
