    I think we've been intentionally avoiding the use of "u64", "u32",
    etc. in this file.
    
    But what do I know.

Alexei said it was due to Clang not taking u64, u32 etc. for compilation.
I didn’t know the context and just used them. But apparently, something
changed and now they build and run OK......
