I meant 20 - 37, the large int arithmetic prims, of course

If someone wants to give this a shot, it should work along the lines of

case 21: return this.popNandPush53BitIntIfOK(2,this.stackSigned53BitInt(1) +
this.stackSigned53BitInt(0)); // primitiveAddLargeIntegers

similar to what is already there for prims 23-28. Don't forget to extend
NonSmallInt so you can reuse vm.div / vm.mod.
