Yes. If you want to compute 2000^100 mod 17 this is a "dirty":
sage: gap.eval("PowerModInt(2000,100,17)")
'4'
whereas this is modern:
sage: 2007 % 17
1
sage: n = 2000
sage: n.powermod(100,17)
4
And this is modern but a little tricky:
sage: n.powermodm_ui(100,17)
4
Basically it would be good to remove most of the
gap.eval('...')
stuff from SAGE constructions if there is a more SAGE-like way to do the same
thing...
and if there isn't, then implement it.
