[M3devel] some more "crazy" proposals

1) change file/rd/wr sizes to be BigInteger.T

and/or

2) Introduce SeekL, IndexL, StatusL, etc.
default implementation calls Seek/Index/Status and does checked truncation.
Clients gradually port to LONGINT or BigInteger.T.
Completely source compatible.


3) BigInteger.T is The multiple-INTEGER precision type??
No compiler/language change??


I might try these out, and then go the extra step and port the file dialog to avoid the exception..
see what it all looks like...
