> I feel these are actually very good arguments. Could you explain why you
chose to update the code instead of the documentation?
I you think that these are good arguments, then why ask me the reason for
which I followed them?
I chose to make the code implement the actual specification, because it is
reasonable and makes sense. Modifying the spec in conformance with what
the actual implementation does would be more complicated and would make
less sense (for instance : "this function returns a vector over the
fraction field of the base ring"... but what if the said fraction field
does not exist?).
