 * status:  needs_review => needs_work
 * milestone:  sage-7.0 => sage-7.1


Comment:

 Why did you remove the whole {{{# The following is a temporary
 solution...}}} block? Do you want `conway` and `prefix` to continue to be
 supported?

 1. If no => deprecate it.
 2. If yes => document it properly (i.e. move the comment you just removed
 to the actual docstring) and add some doctests like
 {{{
 sage: GF(3^10, conway=True, prefix='z') is GF(3^10)
 sage: GF(3^10, conway=True, prefix='foo')
 }}}
