Hi!
> Is the feedback then that we should expose /more/ of the OpenSSL API?
Well, not exactly more of the API I think but ways to link bignums to
others OpenSSL functions. Think about it this way: what people
frequently use bignums for? Doing some kind of crypto-like stuff. But if
you want to do crypto-like stuff, being able to combine it, for example,
with something like openssl_x509_read might probably be useful? Etc.
At least that was my idea :)
