Just because the existing names are abbreviated doesn't mean they all
have to be... how about var_unlimited_uinteger, documented as an
unsigned integer value or the string "unlimited"? And then we do not
need to overload any number in the UI, just internally. We could
leave the variable an int, let [0, INT_MAX - 1] be valid, and INT_MAX
mean unlimited.
