Replying to [comment:10 jdemeyer]:
> One important "detail": it seems this ticket causes a lot more copying
of data (because of the `gcopy()` in `cdef GEN toGEN`. That's bad.
In an earlier attempt I did make the `t0` variables of type `gen`. I
think the reason I changed them back to `GEN` is to decrease the number of
`gen` objects that had to be created/deleted. The (only) price to pay for
this is an extra `gcopy()` for Sage objects that are converted via their
`_pari_()` method. This is an extremely common case of course. I'll have
to think some more about this issue.
