**Caveat:** It is possible (but not likely) that the parser stops parsing with a
successful outcome before reaching the end of the source; in this case, trailing
symbols may be ignored instead of causing an error. For example, a backslash
followed by two newlines may be followed by arbitrary garbage. This will be
fixed once the API for the parser is better.

**Caveat:** On machines where C's ``long int`` type has more than 32 bits (such
as the DEC Alpha), it is possible to create plain Python integers that are
longer than 32 bits. If such an integer is marshaled and read back in on a
machine where C's ``long int`` type has only 32 bits, a Python long integer
object is returned instead. While of a different type, the numeric value is the
same. (This behavior is new in Python 2.2. In earlier versions, all but the
least-significant 32 bits of the value were lost, and a warning message was
printed.)
