I think you have said very elegantly exactly why there is NOT an built-in function that does this, especially for something that does not come up very frequently.

I would say the same about my own desires for a PMOD- Modular exponentiation function. It's fairly easy to write a program that does this, and probably most people wouldn't use it anyway, hence there is no need to include it. (Never mind that ternary operators are tricky with a 4-level RPN stack.)

More functions == more opportunity for bugs, more development expense, more ROM, longer manual, longer time to market, etc.

99.999% of the time I like the 42s exactly how it is. Though, I do wish the CATalog function of the 42S was sticky and opened where you last exited. For example, having to enter MOD twice near each other in a program requires many keystrokes.
