Thanks, Stefan, for the support. I found the description of the packaging system with tagging, registering, and/or publishing a bit difficult to understand. I probably didn't get it all right.
I removed the all the functionality that is already available in Base from the 'Numbers' package and instead utilized these functions where appropriate. The next/prevprime functions use isprime and modular relations for 2 and 3 (5 could also be used) and are quite fast. If you find something more elaborate, please let me know.
