In this case, we shouldn't aritificially restrict to `long`s:
{{{
sage: IntegerLists(10^100, max_length=1).list()
[[10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000]]
}}}
> This Sage object is called 'infinity', but it turns out that one
definition of "infinity" cannot cover all uses that we have for infinity
on a computer.
I think we can have one definition which covers all uses ''within Sage''.
There is nothing fundamentally wrong with `Infinity`, it's just slow.
