There are none - that's why they are not listed. As for long: on 32-
bit platforms (and Win64) int and long are equivalent so you can
simply use INTSXP. On 64-bit unix platforms (LP64) there is no way to
losslessly use it (other than raw) but in most applications you can
simply use REALSXP as it gives you at least 52-bits of precision which
its sufficient for most applications.
