Comment(by cremona):

 Note: this should not get a positive review until this example works
 properly (reported by WAS):
 {{{
 K.<w> = QuadraticField(2); K
   E = EllipticCurve([ 0, -1, 1, -3*w -4, 3*w + 4 ])
 }}}
 and both elliptic_logarithm and elliptic_exponential take a long time
 (i.e., don't finish while
 I'm waiting).  Is this expected?  I don't understand the complexity, but I
 sort of thought they would
 be nearly instant.
 {{{
 embs = K.embeddings(CC)
 Lambda = E.period_lattice(embs[0]); Lambda
 T = E.simon_two_descent()
 P,Q = T[2]
 Lambda.elliptic_logarithm(P,10)
 }}}
 [wait foreover?]

 I have not yet checked that this behaviour still happens after the patch.
