Right. Karatsuba is now included in the default multiplication engine. Hence
polkaramul() isn't needed anymore and was removed. This section and the
following one in the tutorial (about the difference between x * x and x^2)
are obsolete.

polkaramul isn't even known to the whatnow engine [ karamul() is ] since it
only existed for a few internal releases and was never included in the
regular documentation (in fact, it didn't work properly). It's a pity I
updated the tutorial right at that moment, and then forgot to re-update it
after making Karatsuba the default method...

I'm correcting this.

  Karim.
