Autonumbers appear in several ways: strings, ints (old method), and long ints (new method). We currently can't parse long ints. When long ints are implemented it may also be worth implementing an auto-number type that would disallow identical entries in the column.

Warhammer 2 has also been observed to contain optional ints. These should be implemented at the same time. Their format is a boolean followed by an integer. They have currently only been observed with true values for the boolean.

Note that this might also affect EditSF, ie the new type might need to be added there as well.
