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