Comment (by vdelecroix):

 Very nice that it worked!

 I do not quite understand why you need the creation of a new class of
 `NumberFieldQQi`... is that only for the special method you need in the
 element class?

 For embedding in QQbar I guess that what should be fixed is embedding of
 number fields. In the ideal world, you would declare:
 {{{
 QQi = NumberField(x**2 + 1, 'I', embedding=QQbar.gen())
 }}}
 But then, there might be an infinite loop with the definition of `I` in
 `QQbar`. I had the same sort of troubles when refining default embedding
 from lazy field to `AA/QQbar`.
