Comment:
Hello,
The "planned structure" at #17601 does not motivates any choice. In
particular, the branch attached to this ticket makes me sceptical since it
implements a completely broken version of a multiplicative group
isomorphic to `RR` (which is also slower and less usable than the original
one).
Why is it a group and not a ring? Why should there be, if any, a dedicated
parent to an asymptotic term? Do you really intend to implement a parent
for each kind of asymptotic you have in mind?
What I see in the branch is only code that is working for itself which is
not very interesting and not very useful. You can not start building a
cathedral without any serious roadmap.
