We're veering into unrelated territory here, but elf is working on
some very fast full numeric tower support for the core right now - and
it doesn't need GMP, which would be bad for my project (eINIT) since
that would mean a /usr dependency for an init system >_>

100% agreement on the (format) thing :)
