Not really, sorry. This might not have been discussed specifically. It looks like Kenny and Mike's initial commit to the wide-int branch had member operators, so it could just have been carried over by default. And using member operators in the initial commit might have been influenced by double_int (which has them too), since at that time wide_int was very much a direct replacement for double_int. Thanks, Richard
