It is already typedef?

typedef long long L; // widen for printf on 64 bit systems

Yes. Well, it is depending on the warn/info/trace strategy of the
modules. I guess so many modules are not requiring it, because there is
no trace. But, if those are implementing the trace code or something
like it, I guess (long long) will bother devlopers.
