Comment (by Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@…>):

 In [changeset:"cbde86278d2090e19e62f0dd22682b4381433658/integer-gmp"]:

 Wrap `gmpz_fdiv_{q,r,qr}_ui` to optimize `div`/`mod`

 This is similiar to what has been done in [af2ba9c8/integer-gmp] for
 `gmpz_tdiv_{q,r,qr}_ui` (re #8647); However, the gain is more modest
 here, as performance-conscious code tends to use `quot`/`rem` rather
 than `div`/`mod`:
