Hello,

I've just started using luabind for my project and run into the following
issue. C++ API I'm trying to expose to lua uses 64 bit integer type which
luabind cannot use unless I specially register this type as a class. But if
I register it as a class I have to convert lua numbers to this class
explicitly in my lua code. Ideally I want to be able to add somehow it as a
native type so that luabind would be able to resolve calls like
"c_func_with_64bit_int_parameter(1234)" automatically without explicit
conversion. Basically I want to be able to use this type in the same way as
other numeric types which are supported by luabind natively (i.e. int and
double). Is it possible at all?
