    Interesting but I’m trying to think of a time where I use large number ‘in code’… I can see how storing large numbers is necessary and common… but to actually have those numbers in code? Not so sure.

    We actually use it quite a lot in Spryker. Its very handy for all of the cent values and make them human readably in the editor
