Description

I am wondering if there is a function for computing the square of an integer. I ask because GMP has [` mpn_sqr()` ](https://gmplib.org/manual/Low_002dlevel-Functions).

Research direction

Begin with the issue's GMP mpn_sqr reference and inspect Boost.Multiprecision's existing integer-operation API. Confirm whether a square operation is already available; if not, determine the requested behavior and identify appropriate tests before implementation.
