Comment(by robertwb):

 The code looks good after my first reading.

  * I assume by {{{on_egg}}} you're implying the non-identity component of
 an elliptic curve over R?

  * Where does the terminology {{{ei}}} come from for the x-coordinates of
 the 2-torsion? (I may just not be familiar with the notation, if so, just
 let me know.)

  * What assurance is there that {{{extended_agm_iteration}}} will
 terminate in the presence of numerical noise? (I suppose if delta is
 around machine epsilon, then (1+delta).sqrt() should be identically 1. Is
 that enough?

  * It would be good to have an example demonstrating that the elliptic log
 is actually the inverse of the standard Weierstrass isomorphism (at least
 using Pari's version so far)

 I am still building a 4.0 so I haven't actually applied/tested it, but
 will when that's done building.
