Research direction

Start by reading the struct and ctypes entry points related to integer formats; the issue names no files or tests, so first determine where existing integer support is implemented. Clarify the intended 128-bit behavior and identify the relevant test location before making changes. Done means 128-bit integer support is implemented and covered by tests.
