I havent succeeded in doing that. I find it very frustrating that the
overload stuff does not distinguish between integer and int64. It
doesnt work for float and datetime either. I have ended up having
prefixes for the data type.

Quite a few built in Delphi functions accept either integer or int64 as an

I have quite a few standard number processing routines, and up to now have
done one version for integer, and another for int64.
Is it feasible to have an argument/parameter to a function that can be
either (like Delphi does)?
is it possible to test whether such an argument is either integer or int64?
Related - Does anyone know if an int128 is on the cards down the track? (I
have some functions that use numbers nearly up to int64 limit - 17 of the 18
digits decimal length)
