merge libmaple docs ("leaflabs-docs") into ./docs
In the past, libample documentation was forked out of this repository because the documentation had increased in scope. For the librambutan, and the rambutan project in general, we will try to keep documentation closer to the source code, so the librambutan-specific documentation should live here. Other sections of leaflabs-docs will be culled in a following commit. This merge attempts to maintain history by using a subtree strategy. Followed directions at: http://nuclearsquid.com/writings/subtree-merging-and-you/ Full history for files should be accessible using the "--follow" flag to git log, eg: git log --follow docs/source/adc.rst It should be possible to pull patches from leaflabs-docs with: git pull -s subtree leaflabs-docs master ... at least until the docs in this repository diverge significantly.

+``unsigned long long``
+======================
+
+An unsigned version of the :ref:`long long <lang-longlong>` data type.
+An ``unsigned long long`` occupies 8 bytes of memory; it stores an
+integer from 0 to 2^64-1, which is approximately 1.8×10^19 (18
+quintillion, or 18 billion billion).
+
+A synonym for the ``unsigned long long`` type is ``uint64``.
+
+Like an :ref:`unsigned int <lang-unsignedint>`, an ``unsigned long
+long`` won't store negative numbers; it is also subject to the same
+:ref:`overflow issues <lang-int-overflow>` as any integral data type.
+
+Here is an example of declaring an ``unsigned long long`` variable
+named ``c``, then giving it value 299,792,458,000,000,000 (see
+:ref:`integer constants <lang-constants-integers-u-l>` for an
+explanation of the "ULL" at the end of the number)::
+
+ // Speed of light in nanometers per second (approximate).
+ unsigned long long c = 299792458000000000ULL;
+
+The general syntax for declaring an ``unsigned long long`` variable named
+``var``, then giving it value ``val``, looks like::
+
+ unsigned long long var = val;
