--- Comment #36 from Albert Astals Cid <tsdgeos at terra.es> ---
Works good :-)

Only one thing i'm not so sure about isNum and getNum returning the int64
stuff. That is, you can't really represent all the int64 values in a double, so
by using getNum we might lose data.

Proof:
    long long myLong = 9223372036854774700ll;
    double myDouble = myLong;
    printf("%lld\n", myLong);
    printf("%f\n", myDouble);

Result:
9223372036854774700
9223372036854774784.000000

On the other hand this seems to happen for ridiculously high values, i.e. a
double is perfectly fine to handle stuff as the value of 160GB, so maybe just
add a comment in getNum like "// Warning this may break for ridiculously big
values of long long"

What do you think?
