9235	Construction from binary data	Domagoj Šarić	John Maddock	"I didn't find a way to directly construct fixed sized cpp_int from existing binary data (a static array, for example an RSA key hardcoded into a .cpp after being generated with OpenSSL)...
I had to resort to either using the from-string constructor or inserting the data byte by byte with 8 bit shifts and or-ing in a loop both of which are ugly and inefficient:

Ideally it would be possible to create static fixed size numbers as one creates PODs, without a dynamic initializer being created by the compiler.."	Feature Requests	closed	To Be Determined	multiprecision	Boost 1.54.0	Optimization	fixed
