If I understand correctly what Vincent underlines with his message, we
should explain that both the macros mpq_{num,den}ref and the return value
of mpz_roinit_n are intended for direct use as arguments of mpz functions.
The former with a possible read-write role, the latter for read-only uses.
Yes, that seems necessary.
I also think usage of mpz_roinit_n might lead to memory leaks, triggered
by mpz_init (or lack of mpz_clear) before its use. We need to point
this out.
I believe that both types will not change their role or definition in the
near future, as such they can be documented.
I'm not sure about: how we should explain how to use them.
That is a challenge. At the minimum, we should make it clear that they
should only be used by advanced users. (Should we provide similar types
for mpq and mpf?)
