72/*----- The idea ----------------------------------------------------------*
73 *
74 * This file provides functions and macros which work on vectors of words as
75 * unsigned multiprecision integers. The interface works in terms of base
76 * and limit pointers (i.e., a pointer to the start of a vector, and a
77 * pointer just past its end) rather than base pointer and length, because
78 * that requires more arithmetic and state to work on.
79 *
80 * The interfaces are slightly bizarre in other ways. Try to use the
81 * higher-level functions where you can: they're rather better designed to
82 * actually be friendly and useful.
