Thanks, Mario. Worked like a charm. Why is that not part of the base

Licensing. The numbers egg has to be GPL, because it depends on the GMP
(GNU Multi-precision Library) which is GPL.  The overall license for
Chicken, however, is BSD. There are alternatives to the GMP, but it is
the gold standard: fast, accurate, space-conserving.

Current numbers egg is w/o GMP.
