 Description   

It seems like columns of type "bigint" have no consistent PHP type.

If an object is read from the database, the database value seems to be cast to
a PHP string. However, directly after persisting an entity using an id generation strategy of "AUTO" the type is a PHP integer.

I think it would make sense to use a PHP string for both cases as you otherwise can run into problems if you use shallow comparisons such as "===".
