I'm wondering, is it safe to re-use the same structure as both the first
and second arguments to mpz_...() functions...

For example, is the idiom:

void addthenshift(mpz_t &mp,unsigned a,unsigned s)
{
    mpz_add_ui(mp,mp,a);
    mpz_mul_2exp(mp,mp,s);
}

always safe? Or, is it necessary to introduce two temporaries?  Would
the answer be the same if I replaced "unsigned a" with "const mpz_t &a)
and mpz_add_ui with mpz_add?  I've looked in the pdf manual (18 December
2010) - but can't find an explicit answer.
