Hmm, so you're saying that if some mpn function doesn't allow overlap,
but happens to allow it for small sizes (or is mpz calls a different,
more liberal, function for small sizes), then some mpz bugs will not be
visible when using small operands. It would be nice if we could get good
coverage for that, without using large operands for all reuse tests.
