Unlimited Integer (defined in ISO 19103) was actually used for cardinalities in
UML diagram - it does not appear in any ISO API. Because UML are represented by
annotations in GeoAPI and since Java annotations allow only Strings, Classes or
primitive types, it was not possible to use UnlimitedInteger in the context for
which it was created. So I left it in the "pending" module for now, which means
that it can be bring back if it appears to be used in an other context than UML
diagrams. If you are aware of such usage, please let me known.
Thanks for asking; I will add a clarification note.
Regards,
Martin
