   Ruby's sum method should be mostly compatible but it is impossible to
   be perfectly compatible with all of them.
 
+* Fixnum and Bignum are unified into Integer  [Feature #12005]
+  Fixnum class and Bignum class is removed.
+  Integer class is changed from abstract class to concrete class.
+  For example, 0 is an instance of Integer: 0.class returns Integer.
+  The constants Fixnum and Bignum is bound to Integer.
+  So obj.kind_of?(Fixnum) works as obj.kind_of?(Integer).
+  At C-level, rb_cFixnum and rb_cBignum is same as rb_cInteger.
+  So, class based dispatch, such as klass == rb_cFixnum and
+  klass == rb_cBignum, should be changed to FIXNUM_P(obj) and
+  RB_TYPE_P(obj, T_BIGNUM).
