Is it possible to add a keyword or three to augment the filesystem commands we
already have? For instance, seek() accepts only maxint, which means i can seek
only 1/4 the way into the file i have here. And from what i understand, passing a
bigger value to seek() won't work. So how about seek_more() or seek_skip() or
seek_large() to call code in the OS to manage the numbers over maxint, so Eu
doesn't see them and roll them into floating points? That way, to seek 6
gigabytes into a file, i can seek(4000000000) and then seek_large(2000000000).
