Cantor tuple function, BigInt, and integer overflow

Hello all, I've been playing around trying to implement the Cantor tuple function (see attached code), which is essentially a way to map a sequence x1, x2, ..., xN of non-negative integers to a single unique number. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing_function#Cantor_pairing_function
