It has often bothered me that there is a big difference in performance between next_prime(...) and (...).next_prime()
I.e. try (...)=2^4096. Looking at the source code I see that the first gives (by default) a provable result, whereas the second gives a probabilistic result. I think these methods/functions should have identical behaviour. What do other people think?
