If we define the symbols in gmp.h, we should also document them: functions
or macros?
In the #if GCC case, we can define the corresponding _mpz inline
functions; but I'd like to avoid adding function calls in the #else case.

Great!
The problem arises if gt() and lt() are not so simple.

Maybe...

It is nearly unreadable...

#define mpz_lt_si_p(Z,SI)						\
  (__builtin_constant_p ((SI) >= 0) && (SI) >= 0			\
   ? mpz_lt_ui_p(Z, __GMP_CAST (unsigned long, SI))			\
   : __builtin_constant_p ((SI) <= 0 && -__GMP_CAST (unsigned long, SI) <=
GMP_NUMB_MAX)\
   && ((SI) <= 0 && -__GMP_CAST (unsigned long, SI) <= GMP_NUMB_MAX)	\
   ? (Z)->_mp_size < -((Z)->_mp_d[0] <=-__GMP_CAST (unsigned long, SI))	\
   : _mpz_cmp_si (Z,SI) < 0)

... and perhaps I should add one more cast to mp_limb_t before the
comparison with _mp_d[0]...
