I think that FIXNUM_MIN and FIXNUM_MAX should be deprecated and replaced for something that reflects that ruby has a single class for integers. I was thinking something like INTEGER_MAX and INTEGER_MIN

I doubt such consistency is worth breaking compatibility.

And though Fixnum and Bignum is vanished from Ruby world, they are still alive in C world of Ruby implementation.
