I do agree with your point. Reason behind the cast is that the comparison
few lines below is done against a uint64_t.

Moreover, other related APIs parameters are int64_t (download_inode and
download_blocks). This would make the APIs inconsistent between each other.

If I picture myself as a user I would wonder why download_inode() wants a
int64_t and find_inode() wants a uint64_t.

I am not familiar with the generator architecture. What would adding a type
to it imply from the practical point of view?
