We already do that in some code, but we immediatly cast to another type,
defined in perl, like
  IV value = (IV) (intptr_t) k->value;

Is there a integer type we could cast to that represents integers that we
are sure makes sense to cast from intptr_t?  For instance, is the
following correct, or should long be replaced by something else?
  long max_columns = (long) (intptr_t) k->value;

I tried to lookup that information on the www, but could not find
anything definitive.
