```
`uint128` provides a high-performance `Uint128` type that supports standard arithmetic
operations. Unlike `math/big`, operations on `Uint128` values always produce new values
instead of modifying a pointer receiver. A `Uint128` value is therefore immutable, just
like `uint64` and friends.
The name `uint128.Uint128` stutters, so I recommend either using a "dot import"
or aliasing `uint128.Uint128` to give it a project-specific name. Embedding the type
is not recommended, because methods will still return `uint128.Uint128`; this means that,
if you want to extend the type with new methods, your best bet is probably to copy the
source code wholesale and rename the identifier. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
# Benchmarks
Addition, multiplication, and subtraction are on par with their native 64-bit
equivalents. Division is slower: ~20x slower when dividing a `Uint128` by a
`uint64`, and ~100x slower when dividing by a `Uint128`. However, division is
still faster than with `big.Int` (for the same operands), especially when
dividing by a `uint64`.
