Would Bitcoin script benefit from variable length integers?

Maybe a 64-bit integer system could replace the current 32-bit limitation possibly providing sufficient range for Bitcoin's needs?

A custom variable length integer type has much higher complexity and computation cost, personally I'm not sure which use cases would benefit from it?
