Replying to [comment:2 bruno]:
> * My preferred solution is the one chosen by Flint and NTL, keeping the
name `xgcd`;
FLINT ''does not'' use the name `xgcd`, it uses the name `fmpz_poly_xgcd`.
This may look like nitpicking, but it's really not. The FLINT call is
explicit that it's for `fmpz_poly`: polynomials over `ZZ`. When you use
the generic `xgcd` name to mean both the "real" xgcd and the "fake" xgcd-
times-resultant depending on the input, that's confusing.
