I'm interested in using the "long long" datatype on a SunOS Sparc (to
help with my PDP-10 emulator) but there appear to be some missing
pieces that the 2.0 documentation doesn't mention.

- How do you specify a "long long" integer constant?  Standard C provides
for constructs like "1L"; what's the equivalent for long long?  There
is no explicit assurance that an otherwise normal constant will be
given the extended datatype if its value is larger than can be
accomodated by a long.

- There seems to be no supporting <limits.h> entry for a long long.
The form of this naturally depends on the previous point.

Thanks,
--Ken
