Yes, I would reserve a Unum representation for use as an
object pointer, perhaps an invalid exponent with the
fraction field containing the object address. 

I'm uncertain of the value of indefinitely successive in-
direction, and showers of parentheses aggravate my dyslexia. 

Python could run on a Unum stack engine with improved
performance.  Three of the four numeric data types would merge:
plain integers, long integers, and floating point. The data
would be in the stack, and not require the two indirections as
used in the CPython virtual stack engine. 

Who is there bold enough, willing to step outside the cage, and
be worthy of congratulions?
