# Ruby represents Bignums as two's-complement numbers so we may actually be
# good as far as representing negatives goes.
# I'm sure this implementation can be improved performance-wise if necessary.
# Ruby's Bignum#size returns the number of bytes in the internal representation
# of the number, but it can and will include leading zero bytes on at least
# some implementations. Evidently Ruby stores these as sets of quadbytes.
# It's not illegal in BER to encode all of the leading zeroes but let's strip
# them out anyway.
