Comment (by kcrisman):

 I wonder how many failures it would make - running `TestSuite` would be
 instructive, if scary.

 > The decimals are certainly not proven correct, as far as I know it's
 even an open question whether `brun < 2`.

 Interesting!  (Do you have a reference?  I can only find references to
 estimates using twin primes < 10 to the something.)

 Are there any (other?) constants known to some number of bits only of
 potential interest?  I bet there are, but maybe it's not worth keeping the
 class around for that.

 (Deprecation?  Just asking.)
