- Larger creation values than this are allowed in external pid, port and refs
- encoded with NEW_PID_EXT, NEW_PORT_EXT and NEWER_REFERENCE_EXT.
- The point here is to prepare for future upgrade to 32-bit creation.
- OTP-19 (erts-8.0) can handle big creation values from other (newer) nodes,
- but do not use big creation values for the local node yet,
- as we still may have to communicate with older nodes.
