#4725: bug in number field conjugate function
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  was            |       Owner:  was       
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new       
 Priority:  major          |   Milestone:  sage-3.2.2
Component:  number theory  |    Keywords:            
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 This is totally wrong!
 {{{
 sage: K.<j,b> = QQ[sqrt(-1), sqrt(2)]
 sage: j.conjugate()
 0
 }}}

 Much better would be either an error message (since the docs for conjugate
 say it isn't implemented except for cyclotomic and quadratic fields!) or
 an actual correct answer using a number field embedding.  But giving 0 is
 just crazy.
