 Currently, we get:
 {{{
 sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^3 + 2)
 sage: (a + 2)._pari_()
 Mod(x + 2, x^3 + 2)
 }}}
 Note that the variable `x` is used. Since polynomials prefer the variable
 name `x`, it might be better to use `y` by default (or any other name) for
 number field elements.

 Also, the `_pari_()` methods for `NumberFieldElement_absolute` and
 `NumberFieldElement_relative` are exactly the same, so we should avoid
 code duplication.
