The current plan sounds fine.

When considering where to add functions, bear in mind the issue of 
whether only problem authors will be able to use the function, or if 
students can use it in their answers.  In the second case, I suppose you 
would also need to decide if the default is to allow them to use the 
functions or not.  This was part of the rationale for the new context 
initially (by default students would not be able to use say C(n,r) or it 
would trivialize some existing problems, but in more complicated 
counting problems you might want to enable it).

By the way, does webwork have a version of PowerMod for problem 
authors?  I was thinking of using webwork with a cryptography class (it 
would be my first time!), and this was one of the first functions I wanted.
