--- Comment #7 from Bill Gray <feliks314159 at yahoo dot com> ---
I'd really like to see 128-bit ints made available on 32-bit targets. I
realize it wouldn't be fast for multiplying/dividing, but almost all of my use
cases (and most uses in general, I'd bet, except for crypto) involve bitwise
operations.
For that matter, I'd expect crypto folks would welcome 256- and higher-count
integers (get a SHA256 hash in a single scalar value). But perhaps not; they
already have workarounds for such issues.
