Agreed. I modified the docstring, but didn't touch the conway_polynomial
functions (and therefore the RuntimeError).
(ii) I get an error

This is expected, that's why I specified implemented with NTL.
For smaller fields, Sage uses Givaro.
The options available for creating fields with Givaro, NTL and Pari are
different. Another ticket should probably be opened to add some
consistency.
