# $Config{ivsize} not good enough for ya, then? :)

No, because the user may have chosen a different value for IV.  For
example, I may have chosen 'long long' in Perl 5 but 'long' in Parrot to
be safe (IIRC, we're still having 64-bit issues).  Thus, we can't depend
on $Config{ivsize}.  Thus, a little bit of C is necessary to check for
us.  Thus, I am very tired, since I'm talking like this.  I should go to
sleep.  Goodnight.
