What is the maximum value of an int in ChucK? Is there a symbolic constant for it?

A:
The ChucK API reference uses the C int type, so the maximum value would depend on your local machine (2^31-1, around two billion on standard 32-bit x86). I don't see any references to retrieving limits, but if ChucK is extensible using C you could add a function that returns MAXINT.

New in the latest version!
<<<Math.INT_MAX>>>;
For reference though, it uses the "long" keyword in C++ to represent integers.
So on 32-bit computers the max should be 0x7FFFFFFF, or 2147483647.
On 64-bit computers it will be 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, or 9223372036854775807.
