Hi,

I'm still not sure to understand about basing the frontend on Boost.Proto. Could anybody precise how would Proto be used here, and what it would bring exactly?

Basiaclly, you will be able to build lazy expression made out of big int and delay its evalaution to proper affectation point or pass bigint expression w/o any evaluation to functiuon thus optimizing these. Moreover, with proper trasnform on those expression, you can exarct valuable information on the expected result and take compile-time decision on how to evaluate them.
