Add array-dimension-limit and use it in #'make-vector, #'make-string. Add array-total-size-limit, array-rank-limit while we're at it, for the sake of any Common Lisp-oriented code that uses these limits. Rename check_int_range to check_integer_range, have it take Lisp_Objects (and thus bignums) instead. Remove bignum_butlast(), just set int_n to an appropriately large integer if N is a bignum. Accept bignums in check_sequence_range(), change the functions that use check_sequence_range() appropriately. Move the definition of NATNUMP() to number.h; document why it's a reasonable name, contradicting an old comment. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2010-11-20 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * automated/lisp-tests.el: * automated/lisp-tests.el (featurep): * automated/lisp-tests.el (wrong-type-argument): * automated/mule-tests.el (featurep): Check for args-out-of-range errors instead of wrong-type-argument errors in various places when code is handed a large bignum instead of a fixnum. Also check for the wrong-type-argument errors when giving the same code a non-integer value.

@quotation
  Most of the XEmacs text editor is written in the programming
language called XEmacs Lisp.  You can write new code in XEmacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, XEmacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because XEmacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  XEmacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes XEmacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of XEmacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to XEmacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
