Math/BigInt/FastCalc
====================

This is a replacement library for Math::BigInt::Calc that reimplements some
of the Calc functions in XS. It can be used via:

	use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc';

This is always safe to use, since:

  * FastCalc is always faster than Calc, or equal in speed, it will be never
    slower
  * if FastCalc is not installed, Math::BigInt will use Calc.

Of course, it also works with Math::BigFloat

	use Math::BigFloat lib => 'FastCalc';

or even Math::BigRat:

	use Math::BigRat lib => 'FastCalc';

The BENCHMARK file will contain a benchmark showing the difference between
Calc and FastCalc.

Please have fun!
