Currently I'm working for LWG on a spec for tr2 for an infinite precision integer, which is almost finished.
I hope it's not too late for implementation suggestion - I'm familiar with similar attempt [1] and what threw me away was aggressive use of heap. Is it possible to employ technique similar to "small string optimization", that is when number of bytes stored is below some treshold (presumably set in preprocessor), it will not be allocated from heap, but instead employ some fixed buffer inside the number object itself?
