I'm breaking this change out as a separate improvement, since it will not be generally possible to adjust these limits on the j.u.c primitives since they might already use a backing `long` to pack in information which needs to be updated atomically (would require 128-bit atomics to widen them, and it still infeasible to change return types of pre-existing APIs).
