 * On all platforms, the int() math function is modified to do 64-bit truncation, as it already does on [LP64/ILP64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#64-bit_data_models) systems (e.g. 64-bit Linux).
   int() will thus become synonym for wide(). The wide() function will become deprecated in Tcl 9.0, but it will not be removed yet.

 * The ranges of "string is integer" and "string is wideinteger" are changed to match the range of the int()/wide() math function.
   So these functions will report true (1) if the number is in the range -9223372036854775808..9223372036854775807.
   The "string is wideinteger" command will be deprecated in Tcl 9.0, but it will not be removed yet.

 * The C function Tcl\_GetIntFromObj() is changed to return TCL\_OK if the Tcl_Obj contains values in the range of 2147483648..4294967295. So,
   it succeeds if the number fits in either a platform "int", either a platform "unsigned int" type.

 * The C function Tcl\_GetLongFromObj() is changed to behave like Tcl\_GetIntFromObj() if sizeof(long) == sizeof(ing), and to behave like Tcl\_GetWideIntFromObj() if sizeof(long) == sizeof(Tcl_WideInt)

# Implementation

Currently, the proposed implementation is available in the [all-wideint branch]
(https://core.tcl.tk/tcl/timeline?r=all-wideint). (WIP)
