Hi Hendrik,

thanks for your patch.

Do we really need this in core? IMHO it's quite uncommon to deal with 
such big numbers. Why not create a tiny extension for that, which 
extends the field?
Would be a clean solution and keep too specialized things out of core - 
correct me, if you see the need for many people, please!

Kind regards
Steffen
