If you have meaningful benchmarks where this makes a difference, that
may be useful to Matthew, since he recently was working on improving
the FFI's code generation.
I've got some benchmarks showing via timing loops that pulling a _long
directly out of an _mpfr takes just over half the time it takes to call
libmpfr to do it. It's enough to make me want to rewrite simple things
like `bfnegative?' in Racket.
I won't, though, if Matthew has near-future Big Plans. Or Medium Plans.
I see we have "tests/racket/benchmarks". Should I just drop the code
there, or is there some kind of procedure or protocol I should follow?
