You will be even more surprised when you see that we don't have any
(public) mpn functions with carry-in.

    * if the borrow is 0, use mpn_neg;
    * if the borrow is 1, use mpn_com.
  
  Is this the recommended way?
  
That's how I'd do it.  While mpn_com doesn't return "carry out", its
value in this context is quite predictable.
