Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately the intended result and the effective result do not match, but I belive this is a usefull function to have in many situations. I am looking into the possibility of getting a proper implementation of a get-bytes-consed varient, using a new slot tm_totalloc in the typemanager to carry a bignum (and thus not relying on tm_nused for this purpose). Unfortunately this would mean an mp addition in the middle of make_cons. Furthermore there does not seem to be a general interface to direct, destructive mp arithmetic exported via the generic mp.h. Is pari still supported?
