I just can't get over Cabo's choice to put 65 (yes 65) Bit fixed sized ints in the wire format and to top it off by making it ones complement (the sign bit is part of the type and the longest fixed sized ints are 64 bit range)...

Not familiar with this at all, but I assume it's so that one type can encode and store mixed lists of 64-bit signed and unsigned integers.
