#12565: E = EllipticCurve('10a1') gives a stupid traceback (rather than a smart
one)

Comment:

 I think this error message is annoying:
 {{{
 RuntimeError: There is no elliptic curve with label 10a1 in the database
 (note: use lower case letters!)
 }}}
 I can see putting " (note: use lower case letters!) " if the user input
 "10A1", but if they already input lower case letters, why add that
 remark!?
