I was about to actually do it! :)

I was hoping for feedback though from C++ experts on get_str versus
mpz_get_str for the name of the new function gmpxx.h will use.  But
I'm strongly leaning towards mpz_get_str I think, to match the C
function and for maximum cleanliness in gmp.h.

(This isn't going to be documented, not initially, but the name will
get into application binaries, so it matters.)

How about something basic like the following, taking pointers to
fun-pointers for each of the routines.  Passing NULL would be allowed
for each, in which case you don't that one back.

void
mp_get_memory_functions (void *(**alloc_func) (size_t),
                         void *(**realloc_func) (void *, size_t, size_t),
                         void (**free_func) (void *, size_t));
