/**
  * ABSTRACT: numbers in an algebraic extension field K[a] / < f(a) >
  *           Assuming that we have a coeffs object cf, then these numbers
  *           are polynomials in the polynomial ring K[a] represented by
  *           cf->extRing.
  *           IMPORTANT ASSUMPTIONS:
  *           1.) So far we assume that cf->extRing is a valid polynomial
  *               ring in exactly one variable, i.e., K[a], where K is allowed
  *               to be any field (representable in SINGULAR and which may
  *               itself be some extension field, thus allowing for extension
  *               towers).
  *           2.) Moreover, this implementation assumes that
  *               cf->extRing->qideal is not NULL but an ideal with at
  *               least one non-zero generator which may be accessed by
  *               cf->extRing->qideal->m[0] and which represents the minimal
  *               polynomial f(a) of the extension variable 'a' in K[a].
  *           3.) As soon as an std method for polynomial rings becomes
  *               availabe, all reduction steps modulo f(a) should be replaced
  *               by a call to std. Moreover, in this situation one can finally
  *               move from K[a] / < f(a) > to
  *                  K[a_1, ..., a_s] / I, with I some zero-dimensional ideal
  *                                        in K[a_1, ..., a_s] given by a lex
  *                                        Gröbner basis.
  *               The code in algext.h and algext.cc is then capable of
  *               computing in K[a_1, ..., a_s] / I.
