BigInt is a pretty standard name for arbitrary-precision arithmetic. Java, for example, had java.math.BigInteger, clojure has clojure.lang.BigInt, and perl has the bigint package.

When I originally added BigInt to libextra, I named the struct after D's std.bigint.BigInt. I didn't research other language's naming, but as @jhod0 pointed out, BigInt is not uncommon naming.

If someone wants to offer better names for a very breaking change, go ahead, but the paint on this bikeshed has long since dried...
