Comment(by kevin.stueve):

 I think that in the final version, we should give the user the option of
 using either is_prime or is_pseudo_prime.  is_pseudo_prime may be faster,
 and is believed to always be valid (for numbers in our range), but because
 its validity is not proven, the user should be able to choose
 is_prime.[[BR]]
