Hello everybody,
I write a lot of code that requires me to build finite fields, and the
finite fields F_q, when q is not a prime number, cannot be
instanciated without specifying a variable name:
sage: GF(16)
ValueError: parameter 'conway' is required if no name given
Thus, I always use GF(16,'x') to avoid this exception.
Is there any reason to not make GF(16) behave as GF(16,'x') does,
unless specified otherwise? I do not see the point of requesting the
user to provide a character if (s)he does not care.
