Comment(by allison):
1. Except that it's impossible to retrieve a bignum value from another PMC
without get_bignum, because an N register can't hold the value.
3. The same could be argued for all the math vtable functions, but you
have to draw the line somewhere. Simple "to the power of X" is a common
operation, exp and ln aren't.
nextkey_keyed* can go, but the bignum and pow vtable functions stay.
