I think the sum/carry variables gives it away. I should have renamed
those too. Actually, it wasn't that obfuscated. I just thought it
was sort of clever to do the sum diagonally instead of padding a
larger than necessary matrix with zeros.
On a side note though, for real large integers, there are faster ways
to do this. Plain old long multiplication is faster in the 20-200
digit range. There are some specialized methods for 200+ digit
numbers.
