|

- 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.
