I'm aware of that. I assume that someone more clever then me will
decide whether to accept this patch or not. (Also we win a few bytes on
put_dec_full() and put_dec_8bit()). :P

Well... yes. C requires long long to be at least 64-bit and I don't
see it being larger in any foreseeable feature. Wouldn't it be enough
to put a static assert here?
