👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea ☕ — set_long_arg sets the value of argument n as a signed long.

and here's the part where you gotta pay attention, fr fr: on architectures where a long is 32 bits, the value gets sign-extended to 64 bits. that's not a vibe check, that's just how the architecture do 💀
