Well, my point was that the on disk format is limited to much less than
2^63 blocks. But I guess having the additional check does not matter.

Well, it is 5 more lines if I'm counting right :) (3x 3 lines of conversion
- 2x 2 lines of boundary checks). I kind of find it easier to oversee the
boundary checks when everything is together at each parameter. But frankly
this is a bit of nitpicking so if you feel strongly about this I won't
insist.

Hopefully explained above :)

Makes sense, there may be some implicit checks that look unintuitive
this way in the original patch. Now keep the string to number conversion
inside the switch does look better. Let me send v2.

Yes, now I understand what you're considering. ????
Thank you for your explanation!
