// Release history and compatibility issues
//
// 2017-10-14: New variadic functions for Max/Min. Ex:
//  func MaxVal(val int, vals ...int) int {
//  func MinVal(val int, vals ...int) int {
//  func MaxByteVal(val byte, vals ...byte) byte {
//  func MinByteVal(val byte, vals ...byte) byte {
//  ...
//
// 2016-10-10: New functions QuadPolyDiscriminant and QuadPolyFactors.
//
// 2013-12-13: The following functions have been REMOVED
//
// 	func Uint64ToBigInt(n uint64) *big.Int
// 	func Uint64FromBigInt(n *big.Int) (uint64, bool)
//
// 2013-05-13: The following functions are now DEPRECATED
//
// 	func Uint64ToBigInt(n uint64) *big.Int
// 	func Uint64FromBigInt(n *big.Int) (uint64, bool)
//
// These functions will be REMOVED with Go release 1.1+1.
//
// 2013-01-21: The following functions have been REMOVED
//
// 	func MaxInt() int
// 	func MinInt() int
// 	func MaxUint() uint
// 	func UintPtrBits() int
//
// They are now replaced by untyped constants
//
// 	MaxInt
// 	MinInt
// 	MaxUint
// 	UintPtrBits
//
// Additionally one more untyped constant was added
//
// 	IntBits
//
// This change breaks any existing code depending on the above removed
// functions.  They should have not been published in the first place, that was
// unfortunate. Instead, defining such architecture and/or implementation
// specific integer limits and bit widths as untyped constants improves
// performance and allows for static dead code elimination if it depends on
// these values. Thanks to minux for pointing it out in the mail list
// (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/tlPpLW6aJw8/NT3mpToH-a4J).
//
// 2012-12-12: The following functions will be DEPRECATED with Go release
// 1.0.3+1 and REMOVED with Go release 1.0.3+2, b/c of
// http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=954a79ee3ea8

ProbablyPrimeUint32 returns true if n is prime or n is a pseudoprime to base a.
It implements the Miller-Rabin primality test for one specific value of 'a' and

Wrt pseudocode shown at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller-Rabin_primality_test#Algorithm_and_running_time

 Input: n > 3, an odd integer to be tested for primality;
 Input: k, a parameter that determines the accuracy of the test
 Output: composite if n is composite, otherwise probably prime
 write n − 1 as 2^s·d with d odd by factoring powers of 2 from n − 1
 LOOP: repeat k times:
    pick a random integer a in the range [2, n − 2]
    x ← a^d mod n
    if x = 1 or x = n − 1 then do next LOOP
    for r = 1 .. s − 1
       x ← x^2 mod n
       if x = 1 then return composite
       if x = n − 1 then do next LOOP
    return composite
 return probably prime

... this function behaves like passing 1 for 'k' and additionally a
