Or it is me who misunderstood the purpose of highlevel.h in the
first place. The Class flag determine in which  functions_xxx table the
function must go: 

functions_basic   ../language/init.h 
functions_gp      ../gp/gp_init.h 
functions_highlvl ../gp/highlvl.h

As far as I understand, only functions_basic is known by the interpreter
initially, functions_gp and  functions_highlvl ar GP specific add-on. 
Indeed, gp_init.c call

pari_addfunctions(&pari_modules, functions_highlevel,helpmessages_highlevel); 

So either we move that call to init.c, or we remove it and move the functions  
to the basic class (by removing the Class declaration since basic is the
default).

As for the 'many others already included in libpari', well, it happened
that some of the functions in highlevel were progressively moved to
libpari, but here we are doing things more consistently.
