-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. Factor out the unit-norm basis (and operator symmetry) tests once
-   all of the algebras pass.
+4. Pre-cache charpoly for some small algebras?

 
 

-5. Override inner_product(), _max_test_case_size(), et cetera in
-   DirectSumEJA.

-6. 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.

-7. 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.
+5. Compute the scalar in the general natural_inner_product() for
+   matrices, so no overrides are necessary. Actually, this is
+   probably better implemented as a dimension_over_reals() method
+   that returns 1, 2, or 4.

 
 

-   This may require supporting "basis" as a list of basis vectors
-   (as opposed to superalgebra elements) in the subalgebra constructor.
+6. The main EJA element constructor is happy to convert between
+   e.g. HadamardEJA(3) and JordanSpinEJA(3).
