For example for issquare(N), in some application, N wil almost always
be a square,
while in other N will almost never be a square. Ideally one should not use the
same algorithm for both case.
Then maybe issquare wants to grow a hint-flag (as an extra parameter),
to give the caller a way to influence that decision.
Another option is to have 2 names:
issquare_while_unlikely
issquare_while_likely
but then what to do if
issquare_while_unlikely(t_COMPLEX)
gets called ...
