+C<bigint> overrides these routines with versions that can also handle
+big integer values. Under Perl prior to version v5.9.4, however, this
+will not happen unless you specifically ask for it with the two
+import tags "hex" and "oct" - and then it will be global and cannot be
+disabled inside a scope with "no bigint":

+The second call to hex() will warn about a non-portable constant.
