Identity example in manual does not work (10000000000000000000000000000001)

[atsalolikhin-spokeo]

Describe the bug

The fourth example in the Identity subsection of the Basic filters section of the jq manual says the output will be true, false but it comes out as false, false. This is confusing to me as a new user trying to learn jq.

The example is:

jq '. as $big \| [$big, $big + 1] \| map(. > 10000000000000000000000000000000)'

Input: 10000000000000000000000000000001

Output: [true, false]

Here is what happens when I run it:

root@f08d0ad8ba89:/# echo 10000000000000000000000000000001 | jq '. as $big | [$big, $big + 1] | map(. > 10000000000000000000000000000000)'
[
  false,
  false
]
root@f08d0ad8ba89:/# jq --version
jq-1.6
root@f08d0ad8ba89:/#

To Reproduce

If I just click on the Run button in the 1.6 manual, it reproduces the divergent output:

https://jqplay.org/jq?q=.%20as%20%24big%20%7C%20%5B%24big%2C%20%24big%20%2B%201%5D%20%7C%20map(.%20%3E%2010000000000000000000000000000000)&j=10000000000000000000000000000001

Expected behavior
I would expect to be able to reproduce the examples in the manual.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS and Version: macOS, Ubuntu, the jq website
• jq version 1.6

Additional context
I am just trying to learn jq.

This works for the master version, as implemented by #1752.

 % echo 10000000000000000000000000000001 | jq '. as $big | [$big, $big + 1] | map(. > 10000000000000000000000000000000)'
[
  true,
  false
]
 % jq --version
jq-master-a17dd32

But as you point out, the manual is incorrect. #1752 mistakenly updates the manual of 1.6 (https://github.com/stedolan/jq/pull/1752/files#diff-966e77006eca961194e3380eacb0f80eR314). It should update the manual of development version.

Okay, thanks for your kind reply.

Would you like me to update the manual? I can remove the bits from the 1.6 manual and add them to the development manual?

Improving the manual is welcome, of course.
