=====================================================================
+Quoted from <http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/codingconventions.html>:
+
+ Avoid the use of identifiers or idioms that would prevent code
+ compiling with a C++ compiler. Identifiers such as new or class,
+ that are reserved words in C++, should not be used as variables
+ or field names. Explicit casts should be used to convert between
+ void* and other pointer types.

Try to avoid "LONG_MIN/1" since it produces a SIGNAL on (old) FreeBsd.
Don't forget that LONG_MIN/-1 is not representable (specially
with code like MPFR_EXP_MIN/n).
