Hey.
Investigating the possibility of providing this conversion in pyd.
Python provides an api for accessing the underlying bytes.
std.bigint seemingly doesn't. Am I missing anything?
No, I don't believe so. AFAIK there is no public access to the
underlying array, but I think it is a good idea.
I suspect the reason for not disclosing the details is to disallow
anyone putting the data into an invalid state. But read-only access
would be safe.
No, it's just not disclosed because I didn't know the best way to do it.
I didn't want to put something in unless I was sure it was correct.
(And a key part of that, is what is required to implement BigFloat).
