I thought all numbers in Javascript were represented as 64-bit floats. Therefore you can do correct integer math up to 53 bits without getting into too much weirdness (bigger than that and the weirdness is guaranteed).
I didn't know the >>> operator converts to 32-bit. How does it do that? Mask off the top bits? Or give you a NaN if it's bigger?
But (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), at the end of the line it's still represented as a 64-bit float internally and accurately.
