#3714: ST_AsMVT suboptimal integer encoding
----------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  Björn Harrtell  |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  enhancement     |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium          |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.4.0
Component:  postgis         |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:                  |
----------------------------+---------------------------
 The current code encodes any integer value as `int64` but could inspect
 the sign of the value to encode as `uint64` or `sint64` instead which will
 result in a more compact encoding for the reasons explained here:

 integers.
