  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?
  
Yes, mpn_divexact will in one form or another become public.  And so
will mpn_div_q, mpn_div_qr, mpn_bdiv_q, anf mpn_bdiv_qr, again in one
form or another.
