but the one question remains: why int and int64 both supported, why not mere int64 as superset? it's same as float and double..


Actually, it is for historic reasons more than anything else. We have started in 1998, back then int64 was something "special".

When it was proposed to add int64 (like in 2004 Smile, it was a good idea, but INT_V was left for BW compatibility.
