Interesting... a signed 64-bit integer is a pretty close match for a 1-light-year-sized coordinate system (1ly in each direction) with a resolution of 1 millimeter.
E.g.
1<<63 = 9.223.372.036.854.775.808 mm
(300000 * 1000 * 1000) * (365 * 24 * 3600) = 9.460.800.000.000.000.000 mm
Coincidence? I THINK NOT! :D
