Subject: [ruby-core:50849] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7517] Fixnum::MIN,MAX


Issue #7517 has been updated by tarui (Masaya Tarui).


Hi,

It cannot imagine except the use-case of liking to know how far an integer being treated. 
so, I think Integer::MAX better then Fixnum::MAX. 

CRuby's Integer::MAX is INFINITY,isn't it?
If I introduce a Integer subclass for extending a digit number on mruby, is it a Fixnum?
Currently, Fixnum can have instance, and It is an immediate class.
But, Is Fixnum changed into an abstract class?

Maximum (or minimum) number of fixnum can not be get in portable fashion, so I propose Fixnum::MAX and Fixnum::MIN just like Float::MAX and Float::MIN.
