I think that's a good idea. I could, for example, use such wrappers
to convert message digests into bigints. Currently, I use scm_ash and
scm_sum in a loop to convert MD5 hashes into numbers.
Yes, that sounds the prototypical application. Maybe you have a
concrete suggestion of how Guile should offer these functions (i.e.,
documented function prototypes)? That would be great.
