Many of the other types have a function to convert the type to a `big.Int` but the `Address` is missing this function. It is useful to be able to turn an `Address` into a `big.Int` when doing EVM-like computations natively in Go. Sometimes a Solidity `address` type is casted to a `uint256` and having a `Big` method on the `Address` type makes this easy.
