Hi all, I’m just announcing a small utility package called [JuliaMath/IntegerMathUtils.jl](https://github.com/JuliaMath/IntegerMathUtils.jl).  
It adds a few gmp wrappers that provide useful integer functionality that doesn’t exist in `Base`. Specifically, it currently exports `iroot`, `ispower`, `find_exponent` (not a wrapper, but in the same vein), and `is_probably_prime`.

If you have more similar utility functions that you don’t have a good place for, feel free to make a PR!

You can still modify the original post. Interested readers will not have to scroll down to find the link.
