It's a class in gb.gmp. And the fact that it comes from a non-core component
makes it a hairy decision if Format$() should support it. I won't say that
it's impossible to do, but adding a Format *method* to the BigInt class that
behaves like the Format$() builtin would certainly be the cleaner way.
