I missed that part of the output. The exceeding long string of digits caught my attention. Can you submit a PR?
These routines should really be done as builtins, as almost all front ends need this facility and we'd fit in with the common frameworks for folding etc. The only reason I haven't done this so far, is that right now there is no general language-indepent framework for declaring builtins.
Basically, every front end has to set up typed and declarations for every builtin, which is a bit of a pain, especially since there are many floating-point formats and integer formats that we might want to convert between.
