That might indeed be a better design. And if I do adopt the CRTP design, it might be the only way, since if I understand it correctly, there won't be a non-template base class that's shared by all of the integer types anymore.
Using CRTP doesn't preclude a non-templated base class. It would be the base of the class template with its derivate as a parameterizing type.
If I understand it correctly, then yes, I could use a non-templated base class, but that base class wouldn't be usable the way that base_integer is used now, for the parameters to the functions that implement the math operations, so that those functions could be shared between all three types.
