It's a template problem, (related to implicit conversion) not a mathematical
problem. At the time I wrote the code, I could not find any way to select the
correct function in all cases, if I allowed long and ulong.

At least one of the bugs I was hitting was fixed during the last three
releases, so it is probably possible to implement it now.
