Well, okay, but fair warning:
either patch will take me at least a few weeks before i resubmit.
While I had time back in April, law clerking is keeping me very busy, and
i'm wrapped up in gcc stuff on the side.
So if you have a deadline or something, ....
I dunno, i just get the feeling from the sentence that you want to get
this out of the way sooner than that, so i figured it's only fair i make
sure you don't have the notion that i'll get to it RSN.
It might make sense to cheat and do
value_as_long (value_binop (value_from_long (v1), value_from_long (v2), BINOP_RSH))
etc
for binops/things that need masking.or something, so we can keep the
result as a LONGEST, but not worry about
masking during the operations
