1. Accuracy
I ran some calculator test and have found that
an atom is accurate to little more than 50 bits.
I also know that an atom doesn't have overflow because
it goes into scientific notation and starts rounding off the
numbers to be able to handle the size of the number.
My test is as follows
atom chk
chk = 1
for A = 1 to 54 do--Accurate
chk = chk + chk
? A
printf(1, " %.0f\n", chk)
end for
-- 9007199254740992
-- + 9007199254740992

puts(1, " 18014398509481984\n")
