Aaah. Thanks for pointing this out - I thought only of the polyfill

Yes, all API variants I have proposed should result in the equivalent
performance, to the best of my knowledge.
I would even say that {lo, hi} one is easier on VMs for two reasons:
- VMs tend to have some sort of escape analysis / allocation sinking
and they can incorporate { lo, hi } support

Just to be sure, do you agree that both the {lo, hi}-returning API and the
magic-property API should both be able to achieve equivalent performance on a
JS engine that has specifically added and optimized these int64 builtins?
