Daniel Augot also replied directly to me. I've corrected the respective
link to his paper on FriCASTutorial.

Since this paper is more about programming in SPAD, I've added a link to
the ProgrammingSPAD page.

I think it's interesting what Davenport writes on page 9 under item (4).
Obviously they initially had the intention that adding Rep := ... means
that one can dive into the representation of the respective domain,
being well aware that this is dangerous.
There are probably quite a number of domains in the library following
this strategy. I still don't like it and hope we rather export enough
functionality from the underlying domains so that such dangerous actions
are no longer necessary.

Anyway, this article contains some interesting information even for
people who already know programming in SPAD.
