The only way I can see is to make the domains of the numbers distinct.
Negative vs. positive numbers?
Negative is used by system columns. Just adding some large constant

Or we could divide the positive number space in two, by starting at 2^14
(attnums are int2). Then a simple bitmask test would work to distinguish
them.
