Well... I try to aim at core operations only. At the moment, I support jacobi symbol and primality testing, but I will almost certainly remove them.
Huh? Why?

Because I think they do not belong in a big_integer library. They belong in a number theory library. If functions like jacobi symbol make it into a big_integer library, then so should the legendre symbol, lucas function, rabin-miller, lucas probable prime, etc, etc. best regards, Richard Peters
