As far as I understand, you want to use newGreek() in place of new() in
FiniteField.

Personally, I would be in favour of such a change, however, I think
FriCAS should be conservative in the sense that the current behaviour
should not change and one would have to explicitly turn on (off) greek
letters if symbols are auto-generated in finite fields.

So somehow I tend to agree on your earlier suggestion with
FiniteFieldSymbol(p, n, somesymbol), although the name is not perfect.
Maybe one can rely on the fact that FriCAS allows to distinguish between
a 2 argument and 3 argument domain constructor.
Hmmmm... I've never tested that. To me the line

)abbrev domain FF FiniteField

seems troublesome then.
