Malformed Query when querying for a large 10+ digit number

When filtering for a number larger than 2,147,483,647, you get the error of Malformed Query.  It turns out that this is a limitation in SFDC, that Salesforce passes a 32 bit integer into the query, unless you explicitly tell it to use a double.  The solution that SFDC gives is to add a ".0" onto the end of the number.  In Gainsight, we remove the decimals when running queries, so that solution does not work when running queries in rules engine.  It would be a nice idea to give the option in Rules engine to ignore or use the decimals.
