	// 2. If step 2 (both [x] and [y] are even) runs, abort immediately. This
	//    algorithm only cares about [x] and [y] relatively prime.
	// 3. Subtract copies of [x] and [y] as needed in step 6 (both [u] and [v]
	//    are odd) so coefficients stay in bounds.
	// 4. Replace the [u >= v] check with [u > v]. This changes the end
	//    condition to [v = 0] rather than [u = 0]. This saves an extra
	//    subtraction due to which coefficients were negated.
	// 5. Rename x and y to a and n, to capture that one is a modulus.
	// 6. Rearrange steps 4 through 6 slightly. Merge the loops in steps 4 and
	//    5 into the main loop (step 7's goto), and move step 6 to the start of
	//    the loop iteration, ensuring each loop iteration halves at least one
	//    value.
