Yes, it is. (If there were no statements at all in source files, and
just the standard COPYING.LESSER, then it would be “or later” too,
because that’s what the license says.)

I have mixed feelings. Categories would often be hard to determine

in some cases like this one.

Yes, makes sense to me. We could rename multiprecision to algebra, then.
