Name is a bit ugly, because all the other members are not
contractions. They use full words. But up to you.

Nope, int64_t. It is supposed to be 'faster'. Because it does
not have defined overflow rules, and therefore the hardware does
not need to handle it.

But honestly, I didn't measure. For me it is more cargo cult. I
just use signed integers where I can assuming that the hardware
really may omit an instruction or so.

Up to you.

The patch about power of 2 worked btw. This is how it looks now:

	andq   $0x7fff, %rcx             ; imm = 0x7FFF

this is how it used to look:

	movl   $0x7d00, %ecx             ; imm = 0x7D00 
	divq   %rcx
