----------------------------+----------------------------
It should be possible to use `FiniteField(p^n)` (or `FiniteField(p, n)`,
see #17568) without a `name` argument to create the subfield of
`FiniteField(p).algebraic_closure()` of cardinality `p^n`. This would
mean
{{{
GF(p, n) = GF(p^n) = GF(p).algebraic_closure().subfield(n)[0]
}}}
