Hey.
Investigating the possibility of providing this conversion in
pyd.
Python provides an api for accessing the underlying bytes.
std.bigint seemingly doesn't. Am I missing anything?
No, I don't believe so. AFAIK there is no public access to the
underlying array, but I think it is a good idea.
I suspect the reason for not disclosing the details is to
disallow anyone putting the data into an invalid state. But
read-only access would be safe.
