I think this is a good thing but would still recommend a
belt-and-suspenders approach which uses random blinding in addition to
"constant time" bignums.

The latter seem particularly hard to achieve securely in practice, with a
long history of failure.

Random blinding seems to provide a general defense against a wide range of
sidechannel attacks.
