    fn next(&mut self) -> Option<Self::Item> {
        // Knuth Algorithm S.
        let mut zero: u64 = 0_u64;
        let mut remainder = 0_u128;
        // OPT: If we keep track of leading zero limbs we can half iterations.
        for limb in self.limbs.iter_mut().rev() {
            zero |= *limb;
            remainder <<= 64;
            remainder |= u128::from(*limb);
            *limb = (remainder / u128::from(self.base)) as u64;
