Hello Julia hackers!

I'm enjoying your nice little language and I'm really pleased with the process of type promotion.

I'm wondering if there is any plans for an "Integer" type that could support numbers of any arbitrary size. For instance, Haskell uses its Integer type to represent any number and not just those under 2^64, while it also has Int for standard integer sizes.
