Comment(by cremona):
Thanks, Jon. Your small extra patch looks ok to me but I did not try
applying it.
I had not noticed the other quadratic_nonresidue() routine in
integer_mod_ring.py!
On your other question, it seems rather random. I'm not sure what we can
do about that. In some other languages, if there was a function which
applied to rationals and you give it an integer, the compiler would insert
the necessary coercion. But cannot do that (it would involve making
integer a subclass of rational, which does not seem a good idea!)
