No good reason, it's just that I implemented inverse-by-powering (with a hand-tuned addition chain) as a side effect of implementing square root, since in some cases they can share much of the addition chain, and that work touched field prime arithmetic only. Sorry we're getting a bit off topic, we should take nettle discussion elsewhere. Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP key CB4962D070D77D7FCB8BA36271D8F1FF368C6677.
