Comment(by lftabera):
Well,
The issue of adding a lcm function for finite fields has some problems
associated:
- Except is degenerate cases, all elements are units, so the lcm being 1
is not nonsense.
- The problem is that currently, sage already does some lcm for finite
fields if the elements can be coerced to ZZ.
{{{
sage: m = GF(5)
sage: a= m(4)
sage: lcm(a,a)
4
}}}
So this approach will add a backwards incompatibility at least.
