+ * Returns: Resulting multiprecision number.
+ *
+ * Use: Loads a multiprecision number from an array of octets. The
+ * first byte in the array is the least significant. More
+ * formally, if the bytes are %$b_0, b_1, \ldots, b_{n-1}$%
+ * then the result is %$N = \sum_{0 \le i < n} b_i 2^{8i}$%.
