It does, thanks! I just wanted to check on the scope of the changes, so 
I could catch up and provide some feedback in case they were a bit more 
broad.

But this is fine for now. Requiring GMP is a good step towards fixing 
some of the unsupported large integer bits, and I can start thinking 
about fixes with that in mind.
