I think this is a bug on Windows x64 and can be fixed without preserving 
the old behavior.  It could be done through an ifdef, conditional tree, 
or using unsigned long long with an additional range check on 32 bit 
systems.  Arguably this could also accept PyCObject or PyCapsule instances.

The best way to move a fix like this forward is to submit a change into 
the Gerrit code integration system for pyside.
