/*----- Notes on Montgomery reduction -------------------------------------*
 *
 * Given a little bit of precomputation, Montgomery reduction enables modular
 * reductions of products to be calculated rather rapidly, without recourse
 * to annoying things like division.
 *
 * Before starting, you need to do a little work.  In particular, the
 * following things need to be worked out:
 *
 *   * %$m$%, which is the modulus you'll be working with.  This must be odd,
 *     otherwise the whole thing doesn't work.  You're better off using
 *     Barrett reduction if your modulus might be even.
 *
 *   * %$b$%, the radix of the number system you're in (here, it's
 *     @MPW_MAX + 1@).
 *
 *   * %$-m^{-1} \bmod b$%, a useful number for the reduction step.  (This
 *     means that the modulus mustn't be even.  This shouldn't be a problem.)
 *
 *   * %$R = b^n > m > b^{n - 1}$%, or at least %$\log_2 R$%.
 *
 *   * %$R \bmod m$% and %$R^2 \bmod m$%, which are useful when doing
 *     calculations such as exponentiation.
 *
 * The result of a Montgomery reduction of %$x$% is %$x R^{-1} \bmod m$%,
 * which doesn't look ever-so useful.  The trick is to initially apply a
 * factor of %$R$% to all of your numbers so that when you multiply and
 * perform a Montgomery reduction you get %$(x R \cdot y R) R^{-1} \bmod m$%,
 * which is just %$x y R \bmod m$%.  Thanks to distributivity, even additions
 * and subtractions can be performed on numbers in this form -- the extra
 * factor of %$R$% just runs through all the calculations until it's finally
 * stripped out by a final reduction operation.
