Lua is normally built with a double number type, which is of course a
bit too short for full 64-bit integers.  It can be built for 64-bit
integer, then you lose floating-point operations.  You can use the
LNUM patch, so you can have both double and 64-bit integer types.  Or,
write an extension which wraps your 64-bit values in userdata.  The
question is: do you need proper 64-bit integer arithmetic, or do you
just want to pass these numbers around, as ids?
