What a perverted idea.  A LONGINT type that isn't a type, but rather
two separate types.  This is sick.  How do you sell such a crazy idea
to a user?  "I can't decide which type I should give you, so I'll give
you two types but call them both LONGINT"?

What is you proposal for systems supporting 128 bit integers?
