The new stricter variable validation rules uncovered a bug where json unmarshalling ints would get converted to floats, then coerced back to ints.
This is obviously a lossy process for large int numbers (52 bit mantissa means numbers up to 4,503,599,627,370,496 should be OK).
I've removed the coercion from float -> int and opted into json.Decoder.UseNumber which keeps all numbers as strings until we go to decode them, giving us back the full 64 bits.
