I did expect this for GMP 5.0.0, however I was a bit disappointed that
no equivalent interface was provided. As things stand, it is impossible
to do a fast exact division using mpn public functions only. I can of
course use __gmpn_divexact directly, but I'd rather avoid that.
Would it be possible to make mpn_divexact (and maybe mpn_divexact_1)
public in a future release?
Thanks,
Paolo
