Add quotient-ring arithmetic needed by polynomial factorization:
Compared with FLINT, powmod is approximately 6–9× slower, while large squaremod reaches roughly 12×. This is wider than the previously measured 3–5× polynomial-multiplication gap. The gap widens because every modular multiplication performs a full product plus two nominal low products during preinverse reduction. The current mixed-radix backend implements those low products using complete FFT convolutions and then discards unwanted coefficients. FLINT instead uses specialized truncated and middle-product algorithms.
So again the most obvious path to closing the gap is to implement
