Description changed by jdemeyer:
Old description:
> Upstream PARI has extended the `Vec()`, `Vecrev()`, `Vecsmall()`,
> `Col()` functions to allow an optional argument giving a minimum length.
> The PARI currently in Sage does not support this, but we can easily
> emulate it in the Sage library.
>
> Also, to minimize surprises, we should probably implement `Vecrev()` as
> is currently done in PARI, instead of having our own `Vecrev()`. For
> most Sage applications, `.list()` should be used anyway instead of
> `.Vecrev()`.
New description:
Upstream PARI has extended the `Vec()`, `Vecrev()`, `Vecsmall()`, `Col()`
functions to allow an optional argument giving a minimum length. The PARI
currently in Sage does not support this, but we can easily emulate it in
the Sage library.
Also, to minimize surprises, we should implement `Vecrev()` using the PARI
library function, instead of having our own `Vecrev()`. For most Sage
applications, `.list()` should be used anyway instead of `.Vecrev()`.
