Hmm, than will be stuck with:

BigInteger a = new Biginteger("2345897623523457892348976"),
                 b = new Biginteger("2345897623523457892348976"),
                 c = a.add(b).mul(b);

instead of

Biginteger a = "2345897623523457892348976",
                b = "2345897623523457892348976",
                c = (a + b) * b;

Now which do you like better?
It would also solve the problem, if D was extended to support such syntax
for classes.
