IMHO there is a big difference between "int" and "Integer".
"int" is limited to +2 ^ 16 or 2 ^ 32.
"Integer" is a GNU Lg++ (C++ library) class and it allows much much larger
than even (2 ^ 64) integers.

I want to use -just for fun- very long integers.
With Djgpp try :
int a = 123456789123456789;
Don't you get an error message ?
