Thank you and everyone who helped!

It'd be nice if expt could be updated to handle bignums:
(let ((googol (expt 10 100)))
(= googol (apply #'* (make-list 100 10)))) ; => nil
There's also a missing full stop in `(elisp) Integer Basics':

Integers in Emacs Lisp can have arbitrary precision.
Under the hood, though, there are two kinds of integers: smaller
-ones, called @dfn{fixnums}, and larger ones, called @dfn{bignums}
+ones, called @dfn{fixnums}, and larger ones, called @dfn{bignums}.
Some functions in Emacs only accept fixnums. Also, while fixnums can
always be compared for equality with @code{eq}, bignums require the
use of @code{eql}.
