    I hope that the language’s ints are at most 32 bits. For 8 bits it could even be written by hand & the source code for a 32 bit version would only take up avg_line_len * 4GiB space for the source code of the function. But it might take a bit of time to compile a version that supports the full range of 64 or 128 bit ints.
