But you wouldn't expect that because it means implementing every
mathematical function (more or less) to work in arbitrary base.  Surely
it's much less work to write the functions in a fixed base (2 or 10 or 16
or whatever) and then convert (I guess no-one starts out thinking they
will only want addition :o)

Or maybe I misunderstood?
