Comment (by roed):
I don't agree with this change, for two reasons.
First, I intend to implement finite rings that are not finite fields,
which will be used as quotients of p-adic extension fields. If the change
proposed in this ticket is made then we will need to either create another
file for the constructors of such rings, or to suffer a situation
analogous to that derided in the thread, where complex lazy fields are
defined in a file real_lazy.py.
Second, I don't see any benefit to making this change. Finite fields are
examples of finite rings; what's wrong with the current name?
