[M3devel] still need a branch for longint changes?

[Tony Hosking]

Please hold off on mainline changes.  I don't think we have reached consensus yet...

The issue remains: mixed arithmetic + checked assignability or not?  I'm leaning towards allowing it, but want to hear from others.

I didn't yet do anything requiring runtime checks, but it's not that hard to do, given that there are already checks for assignment involving only partly overlapping ranges.
