I agree 100%.  As for your asterisk, it's true that that's an issue --
and one that has never been solved in any version of G++, I don't
think.  What's really needed is a language-independent INTEGER_CST
printing routine that deals with constants that have values too big to
represent in a HOST_WIDE_INT.  Such a thing is actually harder to
write than it seems at first -- but certainly doable.

Yes, but still an interesting point.
