I think it should work as follows for literals:
* `1234` should be an int
* `1234.0` should be a double
* `1234L` should be a long
* `1234f` should be a float
My only question is whether `12345678910` should be a long. My instinct is
that it should probably *should*, but I'd like feedback on that assertion.
Numbers coming in via the parser or as a result of a Stellar function are
the types that the function or parser creates them as.
> Add Support in Stellar for Long and Float Literals

> Currently Stellar only supports literals for doubles and integers. However,
> it is possible for functions to return longs and floats. An example, are the
> timestamp functions. These will return a long. It would be useful for a
> Stellar user to also use Java style floats and longs (eg. 3L, 3F, 3.3f,
> etc.).
