// PostgreSQL jsonb stores JSON numbers using its numeric type. These are the
// documented numeric bounds (131072 digits before and 16383 after the decimal
// point); rejecting at the canonicalization boundary keeps write and read-back
// hashing deterministic and avoids unbounded strings from hostile exponents.
// maxJSONBNumberExponent is an additional allocation guard. PostgreSQL can
// accept some zero literals with a larger positive exponent after normalizing
// their zero weight; this package rejects those spellings conservatively so a
// hostile exponent never drives unbounded intermediate arithmetic.
