I just tested this and if you create a generator and set it to
9223372036854775806 then use gen_id(gen, 1) it goes to

9223372036854775807
-9223372036854775808
-9223372036854775807

Etc, etc. So it doesn't just roll over to 0 which is good news (imo), and
it never reaches 9223372036854775808 so hell should never freeze over :-)
