implementation isn't sufficiently good

Comment(by jvoight):

 Great, so then this gets a positive review from me, too.  I tried a few
 things out and the multiplication, and this last doctest might be useful
 (to test cpdef RingElement _mul_), but maybe there's enough already.

 {{{
             sage: K.<x> = QQ[]
             sage: Q_ab = QuaternionAlgebra(Frac(K), 17, -3)
             sage: Q = QuaternionAlgebra(17, -3)
             sage: for t in xrange(100):
             sage:     v1 = [ZZ.random_element() for i in range(4)]
             sage:     v2 = [ZZ.random_element() for i in range(4)]
             sage:     if list(Q(v1)*Q(v2)) <> list(Q_ab(v1)*Q_ab(v2)):
             sage:         print "Multiplication is inconsistent", v1, v2
 }}}
