Possible is adding a int64_t heap type. But involves hitting every

Indeed. If we're going to do that, I'd rather go with core bignums
after all, perhaps from LibTomMath (which is dedicated to the public
domain by its author), and dispose of the issue once and for all.
Something like this is surely my preference too.
Not sure what is desired. I am guessing the full numeric tower is the
real concern. If only large-ish integers then the current use of
integer flonum limit of +-9007199254740992 should be good for awhile.
Best Wishes,
