-1. Add CartesianProductEJA.
+1. Finish DirectSumEJA: add to_matrix(), random_instance(),
+   one()... methods. Make it subclass RationalBasisEuclideanJordanAlgebra.
+   This is not a general direct sum / cartesian product implementation,
+   it's used only with the other rationalbasis algebras (to make non-
+   simple EJAs out of the simple ones).

 
 2. Add references and start citing them.
 
 3. Implement the octonion simple EJA.

-4. Override random_instance(), one(), et cetera in DirectSumEJA.
+4. Pre-cache charpoly for some small algebras?

 
 

-5. Switch to QQ in *all* algebras for _charpoly_coefficients().
-   This only works when we know that the basis can be rationalized...
-   which is the case at least for the concrete EJAs we provide,
-   but not in general.

-6. Pass already_echelonized (default: False) and echelon_basis
-   (default: None) into the subalgebra constructor. The value of
-   already_echelonized can be passed to V.span_of_basis() to save
-   some time, and usinf e.g. FreeModule_submodule_with_basis_field
-   we may somehow be able to pass the echelon basis straight in to
-   save time.

-   This may require supporting "basis" as a list of basis vectors
-   (as opposed to superalgebra elements) in the subalgebra constructor.
+5. The main EJA element constructor is happy to convert between
+   e.g. HadamardEJA(3) and JordanSpinEJA(3).

 
 

-7. The inner product should be an *argument* to the main EJA
-   constructor.  Afterwards, the basis normalization step should be
-   optional (and enabled by default) for ALL algebras, since any
-   algebra can have a nonstandard inner-product and its basis can be
-   normalized with respect to that inner- product. For example, the
-   HadamardEJA could be equipped with an inner- product that is twice
-   the usual one. Then for the basis to be orthonormal, we would need
-   to divide e.g. (1,0,0) by <(1,0,0),(1,0,0)> = 2 to normalize it.

-8. Use charpoly for inverse itself?

-9. Pre-cache charpoly for some small algebras?
+6. Profile the construction of "large" matrix algebras (like the
+   15-dimensional QuaternionHermitianAlgebra(3)) to find out why
+   they're so slow.
