This patchset LGTM. On my machine there doesn't seem to be any
measurable performance change for the numeric regression test,
but numeric_big gets about 15% faster.
The only additional thought I have, based on your comments about
0001, is that maybe in mul_var we should declare var1digit as
being NumericDigit not int. I tried that here and didn't see
any material change in the generated assembly code (using gcc
8.5.0), so you're right that modern gcc doesn't need any help
there; but I wonder if it could help on other compiler versions.
I'll mark this RFC.
