Yes, this is a good point.  In other tools in a similar context, we
ended up letting numeric operands span from the negative signed limit
(-2**63+1) to the positive unsigned limit (2**64-1).  Shall we?  For a
small extra bribe, -2**63 could be fine too.  But let's reject numbers
outside that range.
