Makes sense, how would you represent floor(1e42) or ceil(1e120) as integer? It would not fit into 32bit (unsigned) or 31bit (signed) integer. Not even into 64bit integer.

BigInt (yeah, not native everywhere)

I feel this is worse than double though because it's a library type rather than a basic type but I guess ceil and floor are also library functions unlike toInt
