A few notes on the implementation:
- Any unsigned power of two integer type less than 64 bits in size is supported
as a Limb type.
- The algorithms used are kept simple for the moment. More complicated
algorithms are generally only more useful as integer sizes increase a
lot and I don't expect our current usage to be used for this purpose
just yet.
- All branches (practically) have been covered by tests.
