/*----------------------
 *		Value node
 *
 * The same Value struct is used for five node types: T_Integer,
 * T_Float, T_String, T_BitString, T_Null.
 *
 * Integral values are actually represented by a machine integer,
 * but both floats and strings are represented as strings.
 * Using T_Float as the node type simply indicates that
 * the contents of the string look like a valid numeric literal.
 *
 * (Before Postgres 7.0, we used a double to represent T_Float,
 * but that creates loss-of-precision problems when the value is
 * ultimately destined to be converted to NUMERIC.  Since Value nodes
 * are only used in the parsing process, not for runtime data, it's
 * better to use the more general representation.)
 *
 * Note that an integer-looking string will get lexed as T_Float if
 * the value is too large to fit in a 'long'.
 *
 * Nulls, of course, don't need the value part at all.
