New description:
One of the first things we learned at Sage Days 21: Function Fields, is
that it is not even possible to really define or even do arithmetic in
function fields *at all* in Sage! It's amazing that this most basic
arithmetic still isn't supported, but it isn't (maybe it used to be via
generic machinery, but got broken...?). The point of this ticket is to
create classes for standard function field structures, along with support
for arithmetic. This should be organized in a way similar to number
fields.
For this code, the main point is to establish an API that works solidly.
It will be insanely slow. A subsequent patch will make things fast.
