BInt

BInt is an arbitrary precision integer value type. It stores a number in base 2^64 notation as an array. Each element of the array is called a limb, which is of type UInt64, the whole array is called limbs and has the type [UInt64]. A boolean sign variable determines if the number is positive or negative. If sign == true, then the number is smaller than 0, otherwise it is greater or equal to 0. It stores the 64 bit digits in little endian, that is, the least significant digit is stored in the array index 0:​

public struct BInt:
	SignedNumeric, // Implies Numeric, Equatable, ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral
	BinaryInteger, // Implies Hashable, CustomStringConvertible, Strideable, Comparable
	ExpressibleByFloatLiteral

limbs == [] := undefined, should throw an error
limbs == [0], sign == false := 0, defined as positive
limbs == [0], sign == true := undefined, should throw an error
limbs == [n] := n if sign == false, otherwise -n, given 0 <= n < 2^64

limbs == [l0, l1, l2, ..., ln] :=
(l0 * 2^(0*64)) +
(11 * 2^(1*64)) +
(12 * 2^(2*64)) +
... +
(ln * 2^(n*64))
