128 bits int are supposed to be a fast, fixed size, standard 
integer type. BigInt is more designed for arbitrary length. Also 
GCC and LLVM-based backends could support them easily. DMD 
implementation would be more something like d templates funcs 
(since hooks are being left away) in druntime (likely in 
object.d) with asm inside...
