Ah good to know! Thanks!

Ok, interesting. May I know why you chose "long long" instead of int64_t 
instead? The former is 64 bit *at least*, whereas the latter is 
guaranteed to be exactly 64 bit IIRC. Is Lua code "protected" against 
long long being bigger than that (I'm guessing there are platforms for 
which long long could be well 128 bit)?
