I'm sure your right about the ambitiousness! But it's not true to say that "arithmetic with $p$-adic numbers" was "not implemented before in the open-source world", that's all. Even if you added "advanced" before "arithmetic", some pari people might object since pari does have (for example) quite a lot of p-adic analytic functions, polynomial factorization and root-finding, ...
