Description changed by jdemeyer:

Old description:

> Here's an example:
>
> {{{
> sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x)
> sage: K.ideal(5)
> Fractional ideal (5)
> sage: QQ.ideal(5)
> Principal ideal (1) of Rational Field
> sage: QQ.number_field().ideal(5)
> Principal ideal (1) of Rational Field
> }}}

New description:

 Several examples:

 {{{
 sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x)
 sage: K.ideal(5)
 Fractional ideal (5)
 sage: QQ.ideal(5)
 Principal ideal (1) of Rational Field
 sage: QQ.number_field().ideal(5)
 Principal ideal (1) of Rational Field
 }}}

 {{{
 K = QQ
 I = K.ideal(7)
 }}}

 This creates ideal that does not have the functions I.denominator,
 I.numerator, I.prime_ideals() ... which a fractional ideal in a number
 field should have

 {{{
 K.<a> = NumberField(x^2+2)
 I = K.ideal(7)
 }}}

 Similarly, QQ.places() is not implemented; it should return the one
 infinite place for Q. Although there seems to be QQ.embeddings().

 {{{
 QQ.places()
 }}}
