Thanks. I *am* working on compiling all of this stuff into a limits.e file...

It should have:
Max integer value
Max atom value
normalized min atom value
denormalized min atom value
-- which of these to should actually be ATOM_MIN? in C, it is the normalized
number that is defined as the min and I don't see the denormalized number
anywhere.
atom epsilon -- smallest precise atom scaled to 1.0
Matt's get_epsilon() and next_higher_atom() and next_lower_atom() functions.

is_nan()
is_infinite()

NAN_Q -- defined as a quiet NAN that can be assigned to atoms
INFINITY

Anything else?
