| ### 4.2.2 bigint expressions A bigint expression is: an identifier of type bigint a function returning bigint an expression involving bigints and the arithmetic operations `+`, `-`, `*`, `div`, `%` (`mod`), or `^` a type cast to bigint. Example:
    // Note: 11*13*17*100*200*2000*503*1111*222222
    // returns a machine integer:
    11*13*17*100*200*2000*503*1111*222222;
    ==> // ** int overflow(*), result may be wrong
    ==> -6869239595516308480
    // using the type cast number for a greater allowed range
    bigint(11)*13*17*100*200*2000*503*1111*222222;
    ==> 12075748128684240000000
