Great work! Would you like to add it to dmd?
Thank you! Yes.
It would be very much appreciated to preserve the `mir.`
namespace for the `parse` module, the required `bignum` package*.
Also, whenever the code will be located I would like to have
control over it. Will you agree?
* - `mir.bignum` is 6K LOC and it is expected to grow up to 20K
LOC if finished. The package includes abstract views for big
integers, decimal, and binary FP numbers; stack-allocated big
integers; midsize unsigned integers; software FP numbers with
extended precision.
