> I want actual proper integers. Not doubles, just integers.

Why exactly do you want that? Is it arbitrary precision you want? Is the 56 bits or whatever not enough for your use-case? Or do you find the range checks are too expensive in practice?



Yes 56 bits is not enough. I want compatibility with database types and any other protocols I choose to use rather than having a js-crippled subset.
