  Division seems to use mpn_invertappr, no?
  
  Hydra probably just sees that we test the function in
  tests/mpn/t-invert.c (it calls it 1000 times, and the function is only
  called 1000 times, so there shouldn't be any other caller).

You're right.  My test "grep -rl 'mpn_invert\b' GMP-SRCDIR" found lots
of matches, but ones that made me think it used where actually comments.

That's an interesting case.  Having an mpn_invert seems to make sense,
perhaps even in a extended documented mpn interface.  Opinions?
