 Something I was wondering: why does get_expr() use int64_t
instead of uint64_t?

 As far as I can understand it uses strtoull() and strtoul() to
convert from the user's string and command handlers use 64-bits
values only for addresses and (signed) 32-bits for anything else.

 We are doing some int64_t to uint64_t conversions today...
