[Verse-dev] Numerical IDs [R4]

Just so you know, if you are host you CAN internaly use signed ints, 
but it meens they will only make use of half of the range of the 
nodes cahat can be created in verse.

How ever if you in your client application would do this it would 
render your application invalid. Since the host is in charge it 
could atempt to send you a id larger then a signed id can handle 
this may chouse you app to break.

Obviusly this problem is rather a theoretical one since it would 
require you to have two billion nodes before the problem would show 
up.
