Indeed, using %lld, %llu, etc with a matching cast to "long long" or
"unsigned long long" is the approved way. Don't use [u]int64 because
that does not necessarily match these format specs. It's probably
physically compatible, but that won't stop pickier compilers from
nagging about a format mismatch.

But what I thought Michael was griping about is the use of "int",
which is a noise word here. Either "long long int" or "long long"
will work, but I think we've preferred the latter because shorter.
