I put BigInt back on the project ideas board with a caveat that some
approaches aren't viable due to licensing concerns and that successful
proposals should include discussion of those concerns. Out of curiosity, do
we have a summary of those licensing issues and other concerns for this
project? I haven't had the time to dig through archives.

If we're accepting for BigInt, should also solicit a project for arbitrary
precision floats? What about a fixed point data structure?
