 That's a necessary condition, certainly.

 split into manageable pieces, for example start with
 `WeierstrassCubic_generic` only and then build on top of that.

 I myself don't need this.  I'm also worried that since elliptic curves
 would be a special case, this would add a new layer of code for all
 elliptic curves, slowing them down, which would be a Bad Thing.

 Anyway, it's up to the people who worked on this in the frst place to make
 their case!
