Provides a Number-like class for representing 64-bit integers in JavaScript, addressing cases where native Number precision breaks beyond +/- 2^53. Useful for carrying and converting int64 values (for example, via octet and string representations) in applications that need to handle 64-bit integer data. The package is not actively maintained, and BigInt is noted as an eventual alternative.
