Re: [webidl] Numeric type reform strawperson (#33)

IIRC some web crypto APIs end up representing 64 bit ints as ArrayBuffers, and could have benefited from native 64 bit int support. But, then again, I remember being convinced that ArrayBuffers was a good idea. Maybe the API was more "a sequence of bytes which could also in theory be interpreted as a 64 bit integer" or something.
