Description
From test_long.test_small_ints:
i = 2
assert i is i**1
i = 1 << 70
assert i - i is 0
assert 0 * i is 0
Note that this is purely for testing compatibility.

Research direction
Start by running test_long.test_small_ints and examining the IronPython implementation of the operations used in its assertions. Trace how small integers are boxed and compare the affected results with CPython compatibility expectations. Done means the listed assertions pass without breaking related integer-operation tests.
