=head1 NAME

Math::BigInt::GMP - Use the GMP library for Math::BigInt routines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # to use it with Math::BigInt
    use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP';

    # to use it with Math::BigFloat
    use Math::BigFloat lib => 'GMP';

    # to use it with Math::BigRat
    use Math::BigRat lib => 'GMP';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Math::BigInt::Calc inherits from Math::BigInt::Lib.

Provides support for big integer calculations by means of the GMP c-library.

Math::BigInt::GMP now no longer uses Math::GMP, but provides it's own XS layer
to access the GMP c-library. This cuts out another (Perl sub routine) layer and
also reduces the memory footprint by not loading Math::GMP and Carp.
