Thanks for your feedback. I overlooked the cost of rebuilding the internal state. I'll give it a try and see if there's a significant difference in performance. I also noticed earlier that it may be better in some convenience aspects, such as the way to compare values. e.g. ``` $bcnum1 > $bcnum2 // bool ``` First, I'll try creating a simple prototype.
