Correction Just saw, that for some libraries like Microsoft.Quantum.Math there have been BitInt versions published as of Sept 1st :) Furthermore operation "EstimatePeriod" is an user defined operation and not a Q# library function.
sorry for the noise

Suggestion
TODO:
publish BigInt versions of all relevant library functions & operations
Context
say, you want to run Shor's algorithm, in the incarnation of the QDK sample "Quantum/samples/algorithms/integer-factorization" against the Resource-Estimator, to get a feeling about the resources you would need..
all library functions that are used in the sample, like "DrawRandomInt", "IsCoPrime" and operations like "EstimatePeriod" all use Int64 types.
that restricts you to factor only 'small' integers with max 19 decimal digits....
what if you want to check for an RSA 2048 bit key?
