The 'i' argument type is for 32-bit only and most handlers
will use an 'int' to store its value.

It's better to fail gracefully when the user enters a value
greater than 32-bit than to get subtle casting bugs.

What about the commands that do allow 64-bit values, like memory inspection?

 They work with the long type ('l'), so the check will be false
as it checks for 'i'.
