subject Scala Tutorial should mention BigInt
code
what happened
The Scala Tutorial has an example of interacting with java.BigInteger. 
This is bad because people get the idea that Scala does not have a BigInt type. 
We should either rewrite the section on Java interoperability, choosing another example, or at least add an expl\
anation that BigInt does the wrapping for you, and that the example looks nicer using it.
