Ok, I thought it was about generic "integer".


How exactly would you go about counting atoms, at all? Much less in an

Like I said... how often does this come up?

I can't remember ever using 63 digits in real life except for general purpose procedures with 63:31 parameters and return values that can handle any size of numeric input and output up to 31 digits, from 31:0 to 31:31.
