For entertainment I am playing around with aliquot number sequences. As most number sequences this involves integers only.

Is there something bigger available than int64 natively in Nim? If not: Is there a way to circumvent this?

int64/uint64 is the widest native integer type, but see nim-stint:

Oh! :) That looks very promising! Thanks a lot!

Theres an int128 in the compiler, but it is not public nor documented.

Currently I am "playing around" with the Stint package. I miss the documentation for that package. Where can I look for it ? I check the github page and checked the unit test files but get not all questions answered (I am still a Nim newbie...).
