I think so.  Although, I am not at all wedded to the MAX_INTEGER name, it's 
just what was proposed already.  :-)  Your implied point is well-taken that 
"max integer" is a misnomer.  MAX_EXACT_INTEGER, perhaps?  Maybe?  I dunno.  
There surely must be some API with prior art for a name here, but I can't 
immediately find it in web searches right now.
