I kind of like it, the way I use it it's shorthand for "return with x status"; 
it just makes return codes and exiting cleaner. But if you still hate it after

If my understanding is correct, those are only needed for 64 bits, i indexes 
into a single node so 32 bits is plenty.

Ok, I'll start on that.
