 If you find any bugs please report them on Github, preferably with a test case.
 
+Integers that are specifed using exponential notation, such as if you say 1e2
+instead of 100, are *not* internally treated as integers. The perl parser is
+lazy and only bothers to convert them into an integer after you perform int-ish
+operations on them, such as adding 0. Likewise if you add 0 to the thoroughly
+non-numeric "100" perl will convert it to an integer. These edge cases are partly
+why you almost certainly don't care about what this module does. If they irk
+you, complain to p5p.
