That describes int_least64_t.  In an implementation where long long is wider 
than 64 bits, int64_t can not be a long long.

What you might be missing is that the width of fluid_long_long_t could then 
differ between implementations.  I can't say whether that would cause problems 
for you, but I have seen other projects where the size of int on different 
platforms was a key factor in many compiler warnings, and naturally, the 
warnings differed by platform too.  One developer might fix a warning for 
himself and end up creating one for another developer.
