The relevant spec does not state 'long' is of any particular size.


���yes I know this is why we have also a platformLongAt: method.

I was just wondering, why we have a signedLongAt: method that return always a 32 bits int.
Would be better to have be more explicit:

platformIntAt:
platformLongAt:
int32At:
int64At:

and same for unsigned versions.
