(** * Euclid gcd algorithm *)
(** This was previously part of Coq standard library (in Znumtheory). But the new binary algorithm used there is much faster and also easier to prove correct (for the variant that is executable in coq). *)
(** In this first variant, we use an explicit measure in [nat], and we prove later that using [2(d+1)] is enough, where [d] is the number of binary digits of the first argument. *)
