Thanks for the cleanup Paul.
Your 'add' routine is less general
but also simpler, so you're free
to push that after the imminent release.

Mildly related to this is; speeding up seq.
That might be able to use the more general
routine (without allocs) in certain cases.
It might be simple/faster than using gmp?

cheers,
Pádraig.
