Robert Griesemer 59a6ba5634 math/big: factored out an internal accessor method (cleanup), added benchmark
Current result of DecimalConversion benchmark (for future reference):

BenchmarkDecimalConversion-8	   10000	    204770 ns/op

Measured on Mac Mini (late 2012) running OS X 10.10.5,
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.

Also: Removed comment suggesting to implement decimal by representing
digits as numbers 0..9 rather than ASCII chars '0'..'9' to avoid
repeated +/-'0' operations. Tried and it appears (per above benchmark)
that the +/-'0' operations are neglibile but the addition conversion
passes around it are not and that it makes things significantly slower.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
