The complete sentence is:

Functions like @code{mpz_fac_ui}, @code{mpz_fib_ui} and 
@code{mpz_bin_uiui}
are designed for calculating isolated values.  If a range of values is 
wanted
it's probably best to call to get a starting point and iterate from 
there.

Maybe we can simply remove "to call".

The documentation of mpz_fib_ui correctly suggests the function to call: 
mpz_fib2_ui.

Speaking about mpz_fac_ui and mpz_bin_uiui, it shouldn't be necessary to 
suggest how to get the starting point.
