Description changed by jdemeyer:

Old description:



New description:

 `CyclotomicField(k).zeta()` is documented as
 {{{
         -  ``n`` - integer (default: None, returns element of
            maximal order)
 }}}
 However, this is not actually the reality:
 {{{
 sage: C = CyclotomicField(5)
 sage: C.zeta().multiplicative_order()  # NOT of maximal order!
 5
 sage: C.zeta(10).multiplicative_order()
 10
 }}}

 This branch will change `zeta()` to be consistent with what was
 documented. It will also make it consistent with `zeta_order()`, such that
 `C.zeta().multiplicative_order()` is equal to `C.zeta_order()`.
