There exists a literal for each numerical type that is
defined. The suffix starting with an apostrophe ('\'') is called a
`type suffix`:idx:. Literals without a type suffix are of the type ``int``,
`type suffix`:idx:. Literals without a type suffix are of an integer type,
unless the literal contains a dot or ``E|e`` in which case it is of
type ``float``. For notational convenience the apostrophe of a type suffix
type ``float``. This integer type is ``int`` if the literal is in the range
``low(i32)..high(i32)``, otherwise it is ``int64``.
For notational convenience the apostrophe of a type suffix
is optional if it is not ambiguous (only hexadecimal floating point literals
with a type suffix can be ambiguous).
