Now that GMP 5 has been released, we will have to make a decision on
whether to make changes to MPIR or ive up GMP compatibility.  An
outline of the features in GMP 5 is given here:

    http://gmplib.org/gmp5.0.html

There is a new type used for bit counnts and a small number of user
visible functions that we don't have in MPIR. I don't think that any
of these will be hard to provide but I may be wrong.  GMP 5 also
changes the specifications of several functions in respect of operand
overlaps.

I would be interested in people's views on how they would like to see
MPIR evolve in this respect.
