 *  ExtensionInfo contains information about extension.
 *  If @a m_extension is true we are in an extension of some initial field.
 *  If the initial field is \f$ F_p \f$ and we pass to \f$ F_p (\alpha) \f$
 *  then @a m_alpha is an algebraic variable, @a m_beta= Variable(1),
 *  @a m_gamma= @a m_delta= 1, @a m_GFDegree= 0, @a m_GFName= 'Z'. If we pass
 *  to some GF (p^k) then @a m_alpha= Variable (1), @a m_beta= Variable(1),
 *  @a m_gamma= @a m_delta= 1, @a m_GFDegree= 1, @a m_GFName= 'Z'.
 *  @n If the initial field is \f$ F_p (\epsilon) \f$, then @a m_beta=
 *  \f$ \epsilon \f$, @a m_alpha an algebraic variable defining an extension of
 *  \f$ F_p (\epsilon) \f$, @a m_gamma is a primitive element of
 *  \f$ F_p (\alpha) \f$, @a m_delta is a primitive element of
 *  \f$ F_p (\beta) \f$, @a m_GFDegree= 0, @a m_GFName= 'Z'.
 *  @n If the initial field is GF(p^k), then @a m_alpha= Variable (1),
 *  @a m_beta= Variable (1), @a m_gamma= 1, @a m_delta= 1, @a m_GFDegree()= k,
 *  @a m_GFName= gf_name of the initial field.
 *  @n If @a m_extension is false and the current field is \f$ F_p \f$ then
 *  @a m_alpha= Variable (1), @a m_beta= Variable (1), @a m_gamma= 1,
 *  @a m_delta= 1, @a m_GFDegree= 1, @a m_GFName= 'Z'.
