1) Yeah, we removed support for it; it's far too cumbersome on method 
lookups to identity-hash on every single integer, and BigIntegers are 
not identity-bound. As well, there's not a single decent use-case aside 
from academic factorial. I'll remove it.

2) is just a known fix I haven't applied AGAIN to the latex2html output. 
It consistently annoys me. I'll fix it when I package 0.3.1. Please 
don't report it again unless it makes it into a candidate release 
distribution.
