Note about native integers: instantiating from an `int` is safe *as long as you don't exceed the maximum
value for your platform* (`PHP_INT_MAX`), in which case it would be transparently converted to `float` by PHP without
notice, and could result in a loss of information. In doubt, prefer instantiating from a `string`, which supports
an unlimited numbers of digits:

Note about floating-point values: instantiating from a `float` might be unsafe, as floating-point values are
imprecise by design, and could result in a loss of information. Always prefer instantiating from a `string`, which
