And personally I think it would by now be reasonable to require MPFR 3.0
or 3.1 as a minimum version should someone wish to make the various
cleanups mentioned in the April discussion, so avoiding claiming to
support configurations few developers will be testing. (MPFR 3.1 came out
nearly five years ago - 3 Oct 2011.)
