Awesome, thanks! I'll get to writing a wrapper around that for ord, chr,
sprintf, pack and unpack just as soon as I get done with the overall
builtins mechanism tonight. I'll probably have something within a couple
days (hard to get time to work on it).

Of course, the same will have to be done for floating point, but this is
a major step forward.
