// All elliptic curve operations for secp256k1 are done in a finite field
// characterized by a 256-bit prime.  Given this precision is larger than the
// biggest available native type, obviously some form of bignum math is needed.
// This package implements specialized fixed-precision field arithmetic rather
// than relying on an arbitrary-precision arithmetic package such as math/big
// for dealing with the field math since the size is known.  As a result, rather
// large performance gains are achieved by taking advantage of many
// optimizations not available to arbitrary-precision arithmetic and generic
// modular arithmetic algorithms.
//
// There are various ways to internally represent each finite field element.
// For example, the most obvious representation would be to use an array of 4
// uint64s (64 bits * 4 = 256 bits).  However, that representation suffers from
// a couple of issues.  First, there is no native Go type large enough to handle
// the intermediate results while adding or multiplying two 64-bit numbers, and
// second there is no space left for overflows when performing the intermediate
// arithmetic between each array element which would lead to expensive carry
// propagation.
//
// Given the above, this implementation represents the the field elements as
// 10 uint32s with each word (array entry) treated as base 2^26.  This was
// chosen for the following reasons:
// 1) Most systems at the current time are 64-bit (or at least have 64-bit
//    registers available for specialized purposes such as MMX) so the
//    intermediate results can typically be done using a native register (and
//    using uint64s to avoid the need for additional half-word arithmetic)
// 2) In order to allow addition of the internal words without having to
//    propagate the the carry, the max normalized value for each register must
//    be less than the number of bits available in the register
// 3) Since we're dealing with 32-bit values, 64-bits of overflow is a
//    reasonable choice for #2
// 4) Given the need for 256-bits of precision and the properties stated in #1,
//    #2, and #3, the representation which best accommodates this is 10 uint32s
//    with base 2^26 (26 bits * 10 = 260 bits, so the final word only needs 22
//    bits) which leaves the desired 64 bits (32 * 10 = 320, 320 - 256 = 64) for
//    overflow
//
// Since it is so important that the field arithmetic is extremely fast for
// high performance crypto, this package does not perform any validation where
// it ordinarily would.  For example, some functions only give the correct
// result is the field is normalized and there is no checking to ensure it is.
// While I typically prefer to ensure all state and input is valid for most
// packages, this code is really only used internally and every extra check
// counts.
