    "An exact representation of a positive whole number,
     negative whole number, or zero. The largest and smallest
     representable values are platform-dependent:

     - For the JVM runtime, integer values between
       -2<sup>63</sup> and 2<sup>63</sup>-1 may be represented
       without overflow.
     - For the JavaScript runtime, integer values with a
       magnitude no greater than 2<sup>53</sup> may be
       represented without loss of precision.

     Overflow or loss of precision occurs silently (with no
     exception raised).

     An integer is considered equal to its [[float]]
     representation, if that exists. That is, for every integer
     `int`, either `int.float` throws an [[OverflowException]],
     or the expression `int.float==int` evaluates to `true`.

     An integer is representable as a sequence of bits. Not all
     of the bits in the representation may be addressed by the
     methods inherited from [[Binary]]:

     - For the JVM runtime, the bits at all indices (0 to 63)
       are addressable.
     - For the JavaScript runtime, the bits at indices 0 to 31
       are addressable.

     Literal integers may be written in decimal, hexadecimal, or
     binary notation:

         8660
         #21D4
         $10000111010100

     Underscores may be used to group digits:

         8660
         #21_D4
         $10_0001_1101_0100"
