hi,
what is the best way to  implement the JavaScript's Number.MAX_VALUE
and MIN_VALUE
their values as defined in specification are 5e-324 and
1.7976931348623157e+308 . is there any way to access maximum numerical
value in PIR

using parrot_config doesn't seem to work

.sub main
.local pmc interp, config
interp = getinterp
.include 'iglobals.pasm'

  config = interp[.IGLOBALS_CONFIG_HASH]
  $I0 = config['maxintval']
  say $I0
.end

is returning 0 as the output

$ parrot_config --dump | grep max on terminal  is returning
floatvalmax => 'DBL_MAX'
intvalmax => 'LONG_MAX'
