What's the issue with the current state of 64-bit integers?  Bootstrap
compilers have been required to support them since the beginning of this
month.  (Indeed, the Mercury compiler itself has been using them since
then as well.)

The last major** uncommitted piece of work for 64-bit integers, is
enabling unboxed 64-bit integers on 64-bit machines, but that only
affect performance.  (I'll be committing the chnage that enables that
tomorrow.)

Have I missed something here?

Julien.

** actually, we need to support smart indexing on all the new fixed
size integer types, as well as extend string.format to suppor them,
allow them in fact tables etc etc, so that's not entirely true.
