Hi, While I'd dearly love for FilePath to go in, the API is not quite stable enough yet - I have another few API changes that I need to make before I send out another version that is suitable for inclusion to base, so i'd like to make those changes first, have another round of review etc. then

I don't have a particular implementation in mind but as a general idea it would make the treatment of Integers the same as the treatment of the standard-size bounded ints. A possible implementation might be a stream cipher that uses 128-bit Integers instead of 32-bit ints (bitwise
