Furthermore, in the gmp lib, the interface for mpn is lower level and lot more irregular than for the other types.

IIRC, mpn is natural numbers (0 and positive integers), it is the base class of all Gmp operations. mpz is integers (positive _and_ negative :) ) mpq is rational numbers, p/q where p and q are mpn's, plus a sign mpf is floating point numbers with variable precision
