Just providing support for int64 is bit like building a donkey with 3 legs.
It'll still work but won't be able to do everything you want.  Hence, you
will have to adapt the environment around it.  In some cases this will mean
wrapping ICU in order to perform this functionality or not using it at all.

I'd like a 4 legged donkey right from the start!
