  | Lots of people (me included :) simply use uint64_t ;)
  | They can wrap, but it should not quickly happen.

 depends on the initial value:  start with  ~0ULL-1  and
 incrementing will wrap pretty fscking fast.

  | If you really want to avoid that you can always use a
  | long double [ ... ].

 nope.  adding one to a sufficiently large FP value need
 not increase the value.

cheers!
