<p>
Numeric constants represent exact values of arbitrary precision and do not overflow.
Consequently, there are no constants denoting the IEEE 754 negative zero, infinity,
and not-a-number values.

Constants may be <a href="#Types">typed</a> or <i>untyped</i>.
Literal constants, <code>true</code>, <code>false</code>, <code>iota</code>,
