Description

NumberUtils#createNumber allows non-hex integers to be Integer, Long or BigInteger, however hex integers are only allowed to be Integer or Long; anything longer than 16 hex digits currently causes a NumberFormatException.

It might be useful to allow longer hex numbers and convert them to BigInteger.
