* The {@code EulerPseudoprime} class implements the Euler primality test.

* It is based on Euler’s criterion:
* For an odd prime number {@code n} and any integer {@code a} coprime to {@code n}:
* a^((n-1)/2) ≡ (a/n) (mod n)
* where (a/n) is the Jacobi symbol.
*
* This algorithm is a stronger probabilistic test than Fermat’s test.
* It may still incorrectly identify a composite as “probably prime” (Euler pseudoprime),
