"Fixed precision" integers

Ok, you're talking about doing all arithmetic in
integers mod 2^n,  for some fixed n.

That's a different kettle of fish - I think you have
little choice but to use mpz_t's and wrap the basic
operators mpz_add,mul etc in routines that monitor the
size of the results and which do the modular reduction
when necessary

This is not something I've done myself - perhaps other
list members might have better ideas.
