Description
There are some APIs where int64 values are pervasive - in my particular use case, the github client library in Go uses them all over the place, since they have after all stacked up some quite large numbers over the years ... For these situations, it would be helpful if plugin authors could declare an input variable to be int64 rather than just int.
Current workaround is having a string input and parsing it with strconv.

Research direction
Start by locating the Go configuration APIs that let plugin authors declare integer inputs, then compare their handling with string inputs parsed through strconv. Determine the tests covering input types and extend them for int64 values; done means plugin authors can declare and receive int64 inputs without using string parsing.
