int8 is a 64-bit integer. There used to be a type (maybe called int48
??) which was 8 4-byte integers. afaicr that is now called oidvector
(and there is an int2vector also). The name changes for these latter
types were fairly recent.
Kyle is asking about the 64-bit integer type called int8 in the catalog
and int64 in the backend source code.
