What would be gained with that? Waste less memory?

Of course, if you do a log of calculations of itnegers that fit in 64 bits but not 32, using 64 bit ints will be a lot faster even on 32 bit machines. The bignum support isn't fast.
I would like to see separate builtin type like "int64" for 64 bits ints, instead of converting _all_ ints to 64 bits :) But this is hopeless, I guess... :)
