+ * Add cyclic group abstraction, with test code.  Separate off exponentation
+ * functions for better static linking.  Fix a buttload of bugs on the way.
+ * Generally ensure that negative exponents do inversion correctly.  Add
+ * table of standard prime-field subgroups.  (Binary field subgroups are
+ * currently unimplemented but easy to add if anyone ever finds a good one.)
