PS: What would break if we extended dimens to 64/63 bit in LuaTeX?
Some poor programmer's head ;) Seriously, the actual implementation would be quite a lot of work. There are definite places in the backend where a 64-bit number would be a no-no, and these have to be captured somewhere. And then there is the lua_Number that is a double, so it cannot fit a full 64-bit number without precision loss, etc. Best wishes, Taco
