If we would make use of it by distinguishing between integers/floats for AL=
L=20
operations, it would. AFAICS, only the addition makes this distinction atm.=
=20
Wether this speed improvement is worth the distinction is another story. An=
d=20
most operations have to be executed with floats either, which shows that th=
e=20
wider range for integers is only academical.
