Title: Return and accept strings for int64s

In a previous PR I used Buffers primarily because a user might need to write the value to another Buffer (e.g. a TCP socket). However, I found out that the [ref](https://github.com/TooTallNate/ref) module provides writeInt64 functions that accept strings - and strings are infinitely more usable than Buffers.
