Research direction
Start by reading the linked SafeCurves page and the 2015/1060 paper, then locate the point addition and doubling implementation in the repository. Compare the current special-case handling with the complete formulas and determine how both operations should use them; done means the implementation uses complete formulas to reduce special-case bugs.
