And thanks to you, Volodya, for taking on the task of managing this review.

And thanks also to Chad for submitting a concrete big integer proposal 
for review, no matter the outcome.  I know there's been some criticism 
from my end regarding Chad's submission, but I still recognize the large 
amount of effort Chad has put into the project and I think it has, at 
least, definitely moved the idea of a C++ big integer library as a whole 
forward.
