Anyway, i'm clearly in minority and I don't think this issue deserve a long thread, so I'm fine with the long return value.

FWIW, I'm with you on this. I think that if people want to avoid overflow using longs, then they should use longs! Doing this as a convenience here and there just postpones the inevitable, and makes it more likely that an overflow bug elsewhere in people's code will stay hidden.
