Long integers in mongoose

[th...@pdxajax.com]

Hi all —

Mongo provides for bigints via the "Long" type / casting function...
The mongo-db-native driver does too. However, the best we get with
Mongoose appears to be the normal JavaScript Number type. Please
correct me if I am wrong, but this would appear to be a problem if you
want to work with bigints, since normal JS numbers are IEEE 754. So,
do we necessarily lose precision if we want to use Mongoose?

Thanks
Chris

OK I figured out that if I need arbitrary precision, I'll have to
store values as strings and use a bigint library. Fine... That said,
it would still be nice to be able to use the full 64 bit longs that
are provided for by the native mongo driver. Any plans for this?
