Question:Strong Primality Test in Maple?

Maple's isprime is not a definitive primality test. The input has to pass a "strong pseudo-primality test" and "one Lucas test". This is well documented. I thought I remembered that there is also a way to get Maple to perform a true primality test, but I don't remember how and don't see anything about this in the Maple help system.

Is my memory faulty, or is there no definitive primality test in Maple?

Thanks in advance,

Doug
