Replying to [comment:9 nbruin]:
> So my proposal: Document that if people want to store long numbers, they
should do so in hex. Mention that "Integer(<string>)" is asymptotically
faster that "int(<string>)" and that the preparser turns "<literal>" into
something equivalent to "Integer(int(<string>))".
I guess you are joking? No serious computer algebra package would
*require* users to write inputs
in hexadecimal.
