Why aren't they implemented in a library for the time being at least, so
code can compile and work?
The obvious answer is because nobody's done it yet.
I have a branch that partially implements ucent in the dmd backend
(somewhere in my fork on github), but it will likely be at least a month
before I have time to work on it again. It looks like it will be pretty
easy on 64 bit.
My suggestion is to focus on fixed arbitrary-sized integers in Phobos,
and then add optimizations for 64-bit integers on architectures that
support it.
