Look closer. The following two strings should represent the same number:
92233720368547768323
9.22337e19
16b8000000000000401
9223372036854775807
Worse, integer comparison is not guaranteed to be exact:
(datatype;=/) 9223372036854776832 9223372036854775807
┌───────┬─┐
│integer│1│
└───────┴─┘
What am I missing?
