(* Convert a small integer to a big integer. *)
val is_int_big_int : big_int -> bool
(* Test whether the given big integer is small enough to
be representable as a small integer (type [int])
without loss of precision. On a 32-bit platform,
[is_int_big_int a] returns [true] if and only if
[a] is between $-2^{30}$ and $2^{30}-1$. On a 64-bit platform,
[is_int_big_int a] returns [true] if and only if
[a] is between $-2^{62}$ and $2^{62}-1$. *)
