BigInteger was added after the others, probably by someone who did not
notice/understand why the other two were defined as they were. When testing
out that patch for inclusion I focused on "does the new field accept the
range of numbers it should" and likely didn't check to make sure the new
type defined for each backend was consistent with how other types in that
backend had been specified...
