Summary0000328: Introduce NaN integers
DescriptionWhen handling numeric overflows (-0x100000000), the driver doesn't really handle these but instead maps them to INT_MIN or INT_MAX.

A better way would be to introduce NaN values for +/- infinity.

This is probably most easily done if the compiler is rewritten to use ASTs and to delay the number parsing until the very last moment.

Alternatively, implement long numbers and let the driver automatically select the best implementation.

At runtime the driver raises an error upon numeric overflows. Couldn't we do the same during compiletime when the compiler stumbles upon a literal number exceeding the limits?
