There'd have to be a constant defined for INT_MAX in guile.  I believe
that
INT_MAX can change between computers (not sure if it's the compiler or
system
that does this).  Probably worth doing in a separate commit where
INT-MAX is
defined in the same place as all of the PI constants and then plugged
anywhere
where there's a large integer.

INT_MAX would be a stupid constant to use in Scheme since it rather
certainly does not fit in a single cell and thus does not have an
efficient representation.

If we need such a thing, we should pick an arbitrary large constant that
is large enough to do the job and small enough not to trigger multi-cell
representations in any Guile implementation.
