Makeit a text column and write "overflow" or "###" as appropriate. Anyone using the column is going to end up wanting
tospecial-case overflow anyway and number-to-text conversion aside from overflow is simple enough if a number, and not
justa display label, is needed.
+1, if we are interested to add only one column then this could be the
best way to show.
