I guess there's quite a few types that could have fits functions.
Maybe it'd be more flexible to have something like
mpz_fits_si (z, SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX)
which would basically do a range check. Perhaps call it
mpz_between_si. That might also help folks not using a full type, but
reserving a couple of tag bits, eg. lisp, smalltalk, haskell etc.
