Will do. Initially I wanted to use mpz_get_si() but it expects a larger
data size. It even works if one casts the return value to int, but I
guess it won't anymore on Big Endian (and is a hack anyway).

Yes, indeed. Also the call to evaluate_priority() ensures
chain->priority.expr is as expected.

I'll rewrite the sentence.

Thanks for the quick review!
