Actually this can be better than that.

First, you'll want an unsigned type. Given the provided argument is u64,
we can assume there won't be any negative values here.
Then it would be wise to use a type with an explicit width, like U32.
Cool. I wanted to avoid multiple casts. i.e u64 -> u32 -> int. But I
guess there is no real need to avoid it.
Sending v4 with your suggestions.
Thanks,
