inconsistent.
What part do you find counter-intuitive? That `p.lcm(q)` for `p, q ∈
QQ[x]` returns the monic lcm of `p` and `q` is clearly what I would
expect, even though it might make sense to ask that `gcd·lcm = p·q`.
However, I do find the definition of `gcd` and `lcm` over `QQ` counter-
intuitive.
