Technically, "long long" is a lie. :) It isn't in the ANSI spec, is
haphazardly implemented by compilers(unless you use gcc, which does
imeplement it) and WILL BE A PROBLEM if you use -fnostrict-alias since
the compiler DOES NOT keep a long long value in contiguous memory unless
you _specifically_ store it in a union. One 32 bit segment can be in a
register and one 32 bit segment on the stack, so be warned.
