// Many elliptic curve operations require working with scalars in a finite field
// characterized by the order of the group underlying the secp256k1 curve.
// Given this precision is larger than the biggest available native type,
// obviously some form of bignum math is needed. This code implements
// specialized fixed-precision field arithmetic rather than relying on an
// arbitrary-precision arithmetic package such as math/big for dealing with the
// math modulo the group order 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 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 the fact
// that there is no native Go type large enough to handle the intermediate
// results while adding or multiplying two 64-bit numbers.
//
// Given the above, this implementation represents the field elements as 8
// uint32s with each word (array entry) treated as base 2^32. This was chosen
// because 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)
