We ought to have some idea about that before adding code.

Daniele, can you explain?

I was thinking that if many of the mpq functions are written with simple
code on top of mpz_ and mpn_ interface provided by both gmp and
mini-gmp, reuse would make sense.

But I might be mistaken, e.g, mpq/aors.c look a lot more more complex
than in your sketch of mini-mpq.c.
