Comment(by davidloeffler):
{{{
sage: B.<i, j, k> = QuaternionAlgebra(RR, -1, -1)
sage: latex(i + 1 - k)
1.00000000000000 + i - k
}}}
With all due respect, this is hideous :-) I know you only did it for
consistency with the {{{repr}}} method, of course; but what would you say
to the suggestion that we change {{{repr}}}, and {{{latex}}}, so they
return something like {{{1.00000000000000 + 1.00000000000000*i -
1.00000000000000*k}}}? This is consistent with our conventions for other
algebras over inexact rings (e.g. polynomials and power series).
