Markus says
<<If we have arbitrary length string operations, arbitrary
length integer operations shouldn't be that much additional
hazzle, and the popularity that arithmetic with huge numbers
has gained through the numerous asymmetric cryptoalgorithms
out there (RSA, Diffie-Hellman, ElGamal, DSS, all the new
elliptic curve stuff, etc.) surely justifies the investment.

Investment in what? Putting this feature as a primitive feature into
the compiler, I think not. Making available suitable libraries? Sure,
and they have been around for a long long time.
