It's a macro designed for this specific purpose. Figured it would be
proper, and we're using them in other parts of the code to shift the
values by more than 32 bits, like you're doing here. But yes, i should
have said could, not should.

I don't consider it less readable, and it's just as long as using a
cast, but of course it's up to you.
