Conversion of oversized hex into FP would break easily and reveal
hardly reproductible across many platforms. Being a support for some
languages fora I observe daily how FP inaccuracies is a real-world
problem in simple-looking code.
The only reasonable thing I can foresee is treat hex as signed int64
inside limits and as blobs outside int64 limits, all without a warning
or error raised.
This way no new behavior is needed: what happens today when a hex blob
appears somewhere? Just like when a column typed as INT holds few
blobs: does the index build/search bomb: no. Oversize hex literals will
simply behave the same.
