True, I suspect Roman had badly placed the question, relying
on context (long since snipped away:-) to avoid any possible
misinterpretation.  As Python's longs "obviously" (to any
Pythonista:-) provide infinite-precision INTEGRAL arithmetic,
what Roman was asking, I'm pretty sure, is whether there was
inf-precision on NON-INTEGRAL numbers:-).
