I don't think infinitely large integer constant area construct that makes sense.

As far as I'm aware, there isn't an instance of an infinitely large integer, even in mathematics, there are finite integers and there is the concept of infinity. (And size_t is defined as an unsigned integer type)

I'd argue you could use non-standard integers that are unable to be reached in a finite amount of steps but aren't infinity and are still "integers".

I don't see how such numbers can exit/be used/defined in any meaningful way. Do you have an example of such a number?
