Comment(by wuthrich):

 Apart from the above the patch here also introduces the function
 {{{is_abelian}}} and improves {{{is_galois}}} for number fields. Subfields
 of abelian fields inherit both.

 There are a few minor things that could be improved at a later state
 (which I write down here so that I won't forget) :

  * The 2-part of the conductor needs adjustment

  * We can prove that a field is NOT abelian even if we can not decide that
 it is Galois, by finding that a prime congruent to 1 modulo the
 hypothetical conductor that does not completely split.

  * Is there some effective Chebotarev that can be used to prove that a
 field is Galois ?
