> When a bigint is implicitly cast to a double (when a bigint is involved in an
> equality expression with a string or double as part of a join condition, or
> when a bigint column is to be combined with a string or double column as part
> of a union) precision may be lost, resulting in unexpected behavior. Until we
> fix the underlying issue we should throw an error in strict mode, and a
> warning in nonstrict mode alerting the user about this.
