I get an error when I use SomeInteger.__class__
-----------------------------------------------

Each value is an object and has a class called as type associated with it.
It is stored as ``object.__class__``.

It is important to take care of how to use integer literals to view its class.
Integer literals must be parenthesized or spaced before ``.name`` attribute
access because ``<literal>.name`` is parsed as ``(<literal>.)name``.

The tokenizer sees the '.' as making the token a float, and
``5.__class__`` is not a valid float token. You can either use it as
``(5).__class__`` or as ``5 .__class__``.
