I don't think it was discussed, but why not go the other way, keep everything
as uint64 and expose an uint64 datatype at the SQL level instead? That's
something I actually want pretty often so I would be happy to have that
natively, whether it's called bigoid, oid8 or anything else. That's probably
too late for pg18 though.
