To complete, as just looked at the source -- if the bigint number
returned does not fit in 32bit size, then it is stored as string. If it
fits in 32bit, then is stored also as int. I see the code was added in
2011 by Alex Hermann.

Maybe the behavior is not that coherent, hard to predict if not knowing
what is in the db, and should be changed to be always stored as string,
then use {s.int} in config if wanted as int.

Cheers,
Daniel
