That's adding support for long without changing QIntegerForSize, which in turn 
defines what qsizetype is. As I said, I oppose qint64 and qsizetype not being 
the same type on 64-bit platforms.

If we change this, then our overload set goes from typedefs to the basic ones: 
int, long and long long. Don't use int64_t or size_t or qint64 or qsizetype.
