> I am reviewing this now. Question: is it not possible to avoid the
code duplication? Could we not have a {{{__reduce()__}}} function in the
base class that could somehow detect whether or not that is appropriate to
use? Perhaps all finite fields should on creation be given a tag to say
whether or not they fall under the factory framework?

Yes, i tried for several hours to figure out how to do that and failed
completely. Obviously, if somrbody can find a way to do whatvyou propose
that might be good. But the fact is the currrent patch fixes a major bug,
and nobody has suggested a better fix.
> On with the testing, anyway!
