I have taken your word into consideration and I pushed several fixes on that (GSoC portal).
I would be glad if you could share some final thought before final submition.
I would also like to inform you that I will enhance my final submission by providing
a Multiprecision use case example on the "Bisextion Method". It's not there linked
to my application because I want to fix some last details, but you could for
sure review the remaining document.

I would be glad to work with you during the summer.
