Title: Fast Library for Number Theory
Description: An R interface to 'FLINT' <https://flintlib.org/>, a C
        library for number theory.  'FLINT' extends GNU 'MPFR'
        <https://www.mpfr.org/> and GNU 'MP' <https://gmplib.org/> with
        support for operations on standard rings (the integers, the
        integers modulo n, finite fields, the rational, p-adic, real,
        and complex numbers) as well as matrices and polynomials over
        rings.  'FLINT' implements midpoint-radius interval arithmetic,
        also known as ball arithmetic, in the real and complex numbers,
        enabling computation in arbitrary precision with rigorous
        propagation of rounding and other errors; see Johansson (2017)
        <doi:10.1109/TC.2017.2690633>. Finally, 'FLINT' provides ball
        arithmetic implementations of many special mathematical
        functions, with high coverage of reference works such as the
        NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions
        <https://dlmf.nist.gov/>.  The R interface defines S4 classes,
        generic functions, and methods for representation and basic
        operations as well as plain R functions mirroring and
        vectorizing entry points in the C library.
