[Matrix-SIG] Support for long longs

[Paul F. Dubois]

David is trying to find the time to make release 13. It would be nice if you
could wait and work from that.
My reservation is that people keep writing in wanting support for this type
or the other.  I'm worried about the consequences for both the complexity of
the package and the job clients face.
