+ * 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 an 'int'.
+ *
+ * Nulls, of course, don't need the value part at all.
