BLOBs.  Anything longer than 64 bits should be BLOBs.  Code which compares two 
values for identity (y == x) will still work correctly, but most other things 
will fail.

I don't think you need to be considerate to anyone who uses a 65-bit hex 
literal.  Hex is not a natural counting language for humans and anyone who uses 
it needs to be a programmer and think like a programmer.
