BigInt version

[Daniel15]

Would be good to get BigInt support... I think the current version doesn't support BigInts.

I created a sample code using bignumber.js

@CatsMiaow Modern browsers have a native BigInt type: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt :)

I know but BigInt doesn't work as I want.

console.log(616580508813361172); // 616580508813361200
BigInt(616580508813361172); // 616580508813361152n
616580508813361152n.toString(); // "616580508813361152"
BigInt(616580508813361172).toString(); // "616580508813361152"
BigInt(616580508813361172).toString() === "616580508813361172" // false

But as I wrote this comment, I checked again

BigInt("616580508813361172").toString() === "616580508813361172" // true

🤔

Rewritten with BigInt

same issue here trying to encode this hex number: 5fce40b61ddd1a677bbdd9d7
back & forth get's it truncated into 5fce40b61ddd240000000000

With BigInt more common nowadays, it'd definitely be nice to have this functionality
