No, it's much higher than that.  Euphoria atoms are either 31-bit signed
integers or double floating point numbers, so there's a lot more room
in an atom for full precision.  If you start using fractions, then some
of that precision will be used there, and you won't be able to go as high.

Yes.  And I think (according to the code I've seen, but I haven't actually
tested) it's all in there right now.
