StaticBigInt

Sure, we can discuss the bikeshedding part sometime; that wasn't entirely the point I was trying to make.

Rather, I was trying to raise the point that this type (however it is named) could be the first of possibly a whole family of types which cannot—and, moreover, we deliberately do not desire to—conform to numeric protocols. For example, as I mentioned above, IEEE 754 defines families of "interchange formats" to "support the exchange of floating-point data" that don't also have to be supported "arithmetic formats."

It would be nice™, therefore, if we could have a term (maybe not "interchange") to describe this family of numeric types as distinct from the standard types we support, so that it is clear—as in your answer to @Saklad5, quoted below—that it is not some design shortcoming or temporary implementation limit that causes the numeric APIs not to be there, but rather that it's inherent to the purpose for which the type exists.

My claim is that the "non-arithmetic interchange-ness" of StaticBigInt distinguishes this type from Int along a distinct axis from its static-ness (à la StaticString), which I agree also distinguishes this type from Int. I am less interested in debating the precise name of the type at this point, or even whether the "static-ness" of the type is more salient to its name than the "non-arithmetic interchange-ness," only to put it out there that there is this second axis along which the proposed type here is distinct from Int.
