<para>
If this function returns 0, <parameter>a</parameter> is
definitely not prime. If it returns 1, then
<parameter>a</parameter> is "probably" prime. If it returns 2,
then <parameter>a</parameter> is surely prime. Reasonable values
of <parameter>reps</parameter> vary from 5 to 10 (default being
10); a higher value lowers the probability for a non-prime to
pass as a "probable" prime.
</para>
<para>
The function uses Miller-Rabin's probabilistic test.
