But what do I do if the user id or group > id printed is too large for an Emacs integer? The file-attributes documentation doesn't say that uid/gid can be cons pairs when uid/gid is higher than the integer limit, is that a bug? But I guess it would be possible to write a parser for big integers to split it into a cons pairs, which probably is what file-attributes returns if uid/gid is too large. Perhaps there already is someone in emacs?
