- For very large long integers, the definition of true division as
returning a float causes problems, since the range of Python
longs is much larger than that of Python floats. This problem
will disappear if and when rational numbers are supported. In
the interim, maybe the long-to-float conversion could be made to
raise OverflowError if the long is out of range.
