I was wondering about that too, but it looks like we have already
various places where 64-bit consts are used without any ugly tricks.
Examples are in tests, include files, and also implementation code.
Is it really necessary? Or is it only the suffix which causes trouble?

Best regards,

I think that is a gcc extension. MSVC tells me off for using 64 bit
literals without a suffix, and cuts off the upper bits.

Out of curiosity, what is the problem with the suffix?
