1. Allow ranges to return BigInt for length.

4. Do not allow ranges like this.
Option 5: Incorporate (emulation code?) for cent/ucent, then
consider that the same as 1 but returning cent rather than
BitInt.
Two problems with this:
1. Still complicates range code (have to accomodate for both
size_t and ucent return value for .length).
2. ucent probably isn't enough either for these sorts of ranges.
