Task Description

Port is_strong_lucas_pseudoprime from the Perl 5 CPAN module Math::Primality to Winxed

Steps To Complete This Task

1. Create a fork of parrot-math-primality.git on github.com
2. This project will build on the parrot-gmp project
3. Convert the function is_strong_lucas_pseudoprime from Perl 5 to Winxed. The function name should be is_strong_lucas_pseudoprime in Winxed.
4. Port the tests from Math::Primality to Winxed as well
5. Create a Github pull request (button on the upper right of your fork) to have your changes incorporated into the master repository
