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.
