+ ALGORITHM:
+
+ Following Faraut and Korányi's Theorem III.1.1, we restrict this
+ element's left-multiplication-by operator to the subalgebra it
+ generates. We then compute the spectral decomposition of that
+ operator, and the spectral projectors we get back must be the
+ left-multiplication-by operators for the idempotents we
+ seek. Thus applying them to the identity element gives us those
+ idempotents.
+
+ Since the eigenvalues are required to be distinct, we take
+ the spectral decomposition of the zero element to be zero
+ times the identity element of the algebra (which is idempotent,
+ obviously).
