Comment:

 This is really good.  Docs are fine, excellent examples.  I could barely
 think of anything to test.
 {{{
 sage: k.<b> = FiniteField(9); k
 Finite Field in b of size 3^2
 sage: vector([1,1]).hermitian_inner_product(vector(k,[1,b]))
 b + 1
 sage: vector([1,i]).hermitian_inner_product(vector(k,[1,b]))
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ArithmeticError:
 }}}
 Which is a little obscure, especially if this were buried in other code.
 Of course,
 {{{
 sage: vector([1,i]).dot_product(vector(k,[1,b]))
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ArithmeticError:
 }}}
 So I don't know whether this is a reason to deny positive review.  What do
 you think?  Separate ticket, or fix here?
