I did try some "small BigInt optimization", but when I benchmarked it, I haven't noticed any measurable improvements. But there's a possibility that my tests weren't great and/or my implementation...

Thanks for the contribution, but I must say I don't understand why would somebody want to have this library in some virtual online environment, where one can't use its main...

> it won't match the normal version 2.0.0 directly If you want to build exactly a released version from nightlies, in the release article for that version (e.g. https://nim-lang.org/blog/2023/08/01/nim-v20-released.html), there...

I can also confirm that this is still happening. Nimble 0.14.2, Nim 2.1.1
