We can reserve a few numbers for internal use - say, 2**31-1024 to 2**31-1
(the maximum positive GFC_INTEGER_4).  Attempts to open or otherwise use
these should be an error, and inquire(exist) could return false, like
negative numbers right now.

It might be a stupid suggestion (I don't have access to the code right now): why not use negative numbers?
