arbitrary precision support opinions

[Martin McDermott]

Hello
I wondering what people think about arbitrary precision support(mostly for
large integers).

I'm pretty new to Octave, but it does sound pretty handy and like it would
put it a step above Matlab. Ive also been looking for a interesting project
for awhile now, so I'm not expecting/demanding this feature out of anyone.

So, do you guys think it would be useful? Would it be used by anyone else?
Any potential problems or general objections?

At first it could just be a simple ifndef to choose, and maybe later it
could be a option during runtime (I'm not sure how yet).

This would be a pretty big project for me so Id just like some input about
it first.

Thanks
Marty
