/**
 * Represents a literal Bignum.
 *
 * We cache the value so that when the same Bignum Operand is copy-propagated
 * across multiple instructions, the same RubyBignum object is created.  In a
 * ddition, the same constant across loops should be the same object.
 *
 * So, in this example, the output should be false, true, true
 * <pre>
 *   n = 0
 *   olda = nil
 *   while (n < 3)
 *     a = 81402749386839761113321
 *     p a.equal?(olda)
 *     olda = a
 *     n += 1
 *   end
 * </pre>
