HP Prime CAS & Large numbers

This seems sad, considering the comparatively vast amount of memory available in the Prime, especially in the G2. Exact integers on the HP 49 and 50 are limited only by memory, and I have done calculations (albeit slowly) involving numbers with over 50000 digits.

I would really like to see the end of artificial limitations on number of digits, as well as the sizes of lists and arrays, or at least to know the trade-offs involved.
