Too-big literals can be smuggled into println!

[workingjubilee]

I tried this code:

fn main() {
    println!("{}", 0x1234567890123456789_i64);
}

I expected to see this happen:

Denial of an overflowing literal, like the following case would:

fn main() {
    let x = 0x1234567890123456789_i64;
    println!("{}", x);
}

Instead, this happened:

It worked??? It even printed out the right decimal number, 5373003641998677469065
