Contributions summary:Sebastián primarily contributed to the `spirv-cross` project by adding support for 64-bit integer types in the OpSwitch instruction. They modified the parser to correctly handle the wider data types, ensuring proper alignment and comparison logic. Further changes refactored the code by moving type tracking logic from the parser to the `ParsedIR`, and updating the control flow graph to handle the 64-bit switch branches. They also added 64-bit switch support for MSL version 2.2.
