  67. <p><code>as</code> distinguishes three kinds of numbers according to how they
  68. are stored in the target machine. <em>Integers</em> are numbers that
  69. would fit into an <code>int</code> in the C language. <em>Bignums</em> are
  70. integers, but they are stored in more than 32 bits. <em>Flonums</em>
  71. are floating point numbers, described below.
