Comment (by wuthrich):
Alias or its own class is still a question, I believe. Do we want
{{{CyclotomicField(4)}}} and {{{QuadraticField(-1)}}} to return the same
thing ? We agree that in either case it should be minimal.
Why {{{I}}} is a symbolic expression in sage now is a mystery to me.
Surely it should be in Z[i], just like 2 is in Z. That {{{I^2}}} is a
symbolic expression and not an integer seems particularly inconvenient.
Eisenstein integer could be dealt with on this same ticket. We only have
to decide if the generator is a 3rd or a 6th root of unity.
