[julia-users] julia> typemin(BigInt) ERROR: no method typemin(Type{BigInt})

[Alain Bouchard]

I undestand that for BigInt there is no hard limit like for Int64 for 
example but the lack of a value seems to cause a problem with rationalize() 
at line 69 where it is not possible to get a Rational with BigInt num and 
den. It seems to me that line 69 of rational.jl shall special case the 
BigInt or that BigInt shall return something valid for typemin/typemax.

at line 69: 

if x < typemin(T); return -one(T)//zero(T); end
