I agree actually. Integer only needs to be an implementation of
multiprecision arithmetic; we shouldn't tie it to GMP. There are
other multiprecision arithmetic packages out there, for example
the LIP package included in NTL
http://www.shoup.net/ntl/
Of course where it so happens that GMP is used for the implementation
of big integers, there is no reason why the implementation should not
provide additional access, via HDirect or a specially written interface,
to additional GMP functions.
