nitpick: GP doesn't stand for "Go Pari"…?

[user202729]

not really a bug, but I notice in the tutorial https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/tutorial/interfaces.html it says gp is the "Go PARI" interpreter… but I don't think that's what the name stands for.

There's a historical note https://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/timeline.html where it says PARI stands for "Précision ARbitraire [AR]Ithmihque" (I don't know French but I guess it means "arbitrary precision algorithms"), and gc stands for "Grand Calculateur", later renamed to gp where P stands for "programmable"…

should we just change that string in the following

$ git grep \*\ ARI
src/doc/de/tutorial/interfaces.rst:-  ``gp`` -- Der "**G** o **P** ARI" Interpreter und
src/doc/en/tutorial/interfaces.rst:-  ``gp`` -- the "**G** o **P** ARI" interpreter, and
src/doc/fr/tutorial/interfaces.rst:-  ``gp`` -- l'interpréteur "**G** o **P** ARI", et
src/doc/ja/tutorial/interfaces.rst:-  ``gp`` -- "**G** o **P** ARI" インタープリタ
src/doc/pt/tutorial/interfaces.rst:-  ``gp`` -- o "**G** do **P** ARI" interpretador, e
src/doc/ru/tutorial/interfaces.rst:-  ``gp`` -- gp - интерпретатор "**G** o **P** ARI" , и

to something like **G**reat **P**rogrammable ARIthmetic calculator (Great Programmable ARIthmetic calculator) ?

the P in PARI supposedly stand for "precision" instead of "programmable" so… maybe it's best to not make up random backronyms.

OK, let it be Precision
