# Interesting, yes, that's mostly what I had in mind, but I'm
# unsure just how it's intended to be used.[*] That is, if I have
#
# INTVAL iv = 7;
#
# what format do I use to print it? Is it the intent that
%vd, I believe.
# As a side note, I see that misc.c currently seems to assume that
# sizeof(long) >= sizeof(INTVAL), so I'll need to patch that up
# anyway, but at the moment, I'm unclear even as to intention.
It was my intent that HUGEINTVAL be the largest integer the machine
supports, detected by Configure. However, I never got around to adding
that in.
# [*]As another curious side note, the Parrot_sprintf functions
# require a Parrot interpreter. Whether it's safe to pass that
It only passes it to string_make, which IIRC can handle a null
interpreter.

Wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in
New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. And radio operates
exactly the same way. The only difference is that there is no cat.
