      Description

      According to the ABNF an optional 'L'/'l' character MAY be included. I was asked why this was and failed to give an answer. Dear I ask why we allow this whereas we don't make any distinction that way for the other integer types?We already allow for upscaling to a bigger type, why couldn't any integer number be just specified using its digits full well knowing that if more then 15 digits are required it has to be an int64 number ?
