OK understood. I think we would only want to go through with this PR if we
could avoid that perf regression in the
_DefFormatterBench.testSmallBigDecDefNumberFormatter_ case. So either including
this BI fast path as part of this change, or (if there are scope concerns),
making a separate change for it first and making this PR dependent on it seems
reasonable to me. It would be good to get @rgiulietti's opinion on this.
I think it would also be good to include the _java.math.BigIntegers_ results
since this change directly impacts those results as well. (Which look to have
sizeable improvements for _BigIntegers.testSmallToString_ and
_BigIntegers.testLargeToString_.)
