32 bits being clearly inadequate, what is the next available integer
type of greater width, that every implementation is required to
provide? In POSIX, that's int64_t. (I don't think given the
constraints on intN_t types you could have an int53_t although that's
clearly practical to implement if you have support for denormalized
IEEE doubles.)
