This package defines several useful constants having to with numbers.

@defvar most-positive-fixnum
This constant equals the largest value a Lisp integer can hold.
It is typically @code{2^23-1} or @code{2^25-1}.
@end defvar

@defvar most-negative-fixnum
This constant equals the smallest (most negative) value a Lisp
integer can hold.
@end defvar

The following parameters have to do with floating-point numbers.
This package determines their values by exercising the computer's
floating-point arithmetic in various ways.  Because this operation
might be slow, the code for initializing them is kept in a separate
