Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have to cast to long or long long from DWORD (unsigned long) every time I want to insert or extract an unsigned long value. It's a little tedious...
Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally support for unsigned long is added to the project.

Research direction
The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points. Start by examining how jsoncpp currently handles long and long long values, then define the expected insertion and extraction behavior for unsigned long. Done means unsigned long values are supported without casts and have test coverage.
