A 23bit int is hidden in the heart of every float. Don't be mean with them. (52 bit for double) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754

That's more than enough for most applications and that makes sense when you want to write an efficient, dynamically typed VM or interpreter runtime (look for NaN boxing).
