An alternative, which is more compatible with the existing scheme,
would be to have MBignum - MBignum potentially return a Fixnum, but
then have Fixnum handle undefined methods that _are_ defined by bignum
by converting self to a MBignum and then re-dispatching the message, so
2.exptmode(e,p)
would always work (by converting '2' to a MBignum and then using
MBignum's method)
