Comment (by darij):

 Thanks!

 About {{{(-1)**a * x}}} vs. {{{x if a % 2 == 0 else -x}}}: I've changed it
 to the former (= more intuitive) syntax now in the Verschiebung method. I
 was getting a speedup from the latter syntax in a different method (omega
 or antipode, I don't remember), which made me adapt it as a general
 tactic. I guess Python is smarter than that, though. Either way the time
 difference is small and tends to hide behind noise (my firefox is
 running), and I'm not sure whether it is due to the exponentiation itself
 or to the fact that the former syntax coerces {{{(-1)**a}}} into the
 parent of {{{x}}} and then does multiplication within that parent, while
 the latter only ever uses negation in the parent of {{{x}}}.
