   zeroes so that the returned buffer has at least FILL_LE bytes.

   If EXTRAALLOC > 0 the returned buffer has these number of bytes
   extra allocated at the end; if EXTRAALLOC < 0 the returned buffer
   has the absolute value of EXTRAALLOC allocated at the begin of the
   buffer (the are not initialized) and the MPI is stored right after
   this.  This feature is useful to allow the caller to prefix the
   returned value.  EXTRAALLOC is _not_ included in the value stored
   at NBYTES.

   Caller must free the return string.  This function returns an
   allocated buffer with NBYTES set to zero if the value of A is zero.
   If sign is not NULL, it will be set to the sign of the A.  On error
   NULL is returned and ERRNO set appropriately.  */
