Really? I don't know anyone serializing strings as a "bigint" number.
Did you already see such code pattern in the wild? Usually, bytes are
serialized as... bytes, no? Sometimes, bytes are serialized as base64
or hexadecimal to go through into an ASCII ("7-bit") bytestream. But I
don' recall any file format serializing bytes as a single large
decimal number.
