I don't. :-) There are several possible representations for an algebraic real in my code. An algebraic real can be a rational number, it can be a particular root (selected by giving an interval containing the root) of a polynomial with algebraic coefficients, or it can be the sum, difference, product, or quotient of algebraic reals. So the representation for a+b, with algebraic a and b, is a+b.
