The equivalent C constants are: Qnil, Qfalse, Qtrue.

The T_FIXNUM data is a 31bit length fixed integer (63bit length on

The T_FIXNUM data is a 31bit or 63bit length fixed integer.
This size is depend on the size of long: if long is 32bit then
T_FIXNUM is 31bit, if long is 64bit then T_FIXNUM is 63bit.
T_FIXNUM can be converted to a C integer by using the

data is really FIXNUM before using them, they are faster. FIX2LONG()
never raises exceptions, but FIX2INT() raises RangeError if the
