The following is a comparison between stdlib big integers (old) and the
specialized type (new) averaging 10 runs each:
name old time/op new time/op delta
------------------------------------------------------------------
IsOdd 3.62ns ± 4% 1.64ns ± 1% -54.65% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
name old allocs/op new allocs/op delta
---------------------------------------------------------
IsOdd 0.00 0.00 ~ (all equal)
This is part of a series of commits to fully implement the uint256
package.
