Also, don't expect it to work for large widths. We make some effort to
expand (say) an i128 add in terms of two 64-bit adds, but the code
very quickly becomes terrible; and division simply doesn't work above
128-bits (typically).

If you want arbitrary precision arithmetic you should be looking for a
library to do it properly.

Cheers.
