This does not look fun :-( I made an attempt at updating the documentation, but my heart isn't really in it, so I tend to doubt that I did all that good of a job. Also, the issue of whether GMP is required affects the docs quite a bit. Maybe once the decisions have settled, someone else could look at the docs. I replied about the mpn thing already. I did find a couple more items for the to-do list, though nothing too pressing: * cl-isqrt should probably be updated, maybe just sqrt should work on integers and use GMP (?) * expt still isn't converted Tom
