crates may offer better performance with different trade-offs. The following
table offers a brief comparison to a few alternatives.

| [`awint`] | MIT/Apache-2.0 | 1.66 | pure rust | fixed width, heap or stack, concatenation macros |
| [`bnum`] | MIT/Apache-2.0 | 1.61 | pure rust | fixed width, parity with Rust primitives including floats |
