Documentation: meta:set_int() does not specify range.

[BluebirdGreycoat]

Problem

So I was coding, and typed out meta:set_int("time", os.time()). And suddenly I realized that A) os.time() is a huge number, and B) meta:set_int() doesn't document its min/max contiguous integer range.

Solutions

Need documentation, please. Mainly so that there's a promise that the range won't be smallered at some future date.

Alternatives

Could store os.time() in a string. I've done that, too.

Additional context

Bleh, leaving this empty.

And suddenly I realized that A) os.time() is a huge number

I don't think 32-bit numbers pass as huge in the computing world. Either way, this should be documented.

According to the code, the set_int function already converts the integer to a string (and the string to an integer in the get_int equivalent). So we can assume that the range is system-dependent (usually 32 bits).

The same for the set_float function.
