    gcdx(x,y)

Computes the greatest common (positive) divisor of `x` and `y` and their Bézout
coefficients, i.e. the integer coefficients `u` and `v` that satisfy
``ux+vy = d = gcd(x,y)``. ``gcdx(x,y)`` returns ``(d,u,v)``.

!!! note
    Bézout coefficients are *not* uniquely defined. `gcdx` returns the minimal
    Bézout coefficients that are computed by the extended Euclidean algorithm.
    (Ref: D. Knuth, TAoCP, 2/e, p. 325, Algorithm X.)
    For signed integers, these coefficients `u` and `v` are minimal in
    the sense that ``|u| < |y/d|`` and ``|v| < |x/d|``. Furthermore,
    the signs of `u` and `v` are chosen so that `d` is positive.
    For unsigned integers, the coefficients `u` and `v` might be near
    their `typemax`, and the identity then holds only via the unsigned
    integers' modulo arithmetic.
