Comment(by kcrisman):
I clearly need more sleep. You're right on the second count, and I copied
the wrong thing on the first count:
"A primitive root exists if `n=4` or `n=p^k` or `n=2p^k`, where `p` is an
odd prime"
Which in theory then should say something about {{{\pm}}} all those
numbers, given that this patch defines it that way. Probably that is
lawyering. But wanted to put it out there. Anyway, doesn't really bother
me.
