Relevant, but of course what I'm really getting at is exactly how to
deal with a user who does the original thing (mod(2,990)^-1 ) and is
not immediately sure what went wrong because of the lack of error
message content.  Particularly if it is in the middle of some long
script where they forgot to check a gcd condition, for instance.  For
me personally it is not that big a deal :)

Any thoughts by those who've worked in integer_mod.pyx?
