[racket] 80-bit precision in Racket

Matthew,

The changes you have made make much sense to us, thanks!
Right now we are looking into JIT and we plan to make our

If you plan to bring significant changes to JIT after that
day, then no problem, please give a notice--we can rearrange
our plans.


Regards,

Dmitry
