+Address Literals
+----------------
+
+Hexadecimal literals that pass the address checksum test, for example
+``0xdCad3a6d3569DF655070DEd06cb7A1b2Ccd1D3AF`` are of ``address`` type.
+Hexadecimal literals that are 20 bytes long (differ from that in at
+most one hexadecimal digit) but do not pass the checksum test produce
+a warning and are treated as regular rational number literals.
