-1. Finish DirectSumEJA: add to_matrix(), random_instance(),

-   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).
+1. Finish CartesianProductEJA: add to_matrix(),
+   random_instance(),... methods. This will require rethinking what a
+   "matrix representation" and "matrix space" means for a cartesian
+   product algebra. Do we want our matrix basis to consist of ordered
+   pairs (or triples, or...)? Should the matrix_space() of the algebra
+   be the cartesian product of the factors' matrix spaces? Can we just
+   fix the matrix basis/space after we call the FDEJA initializer?
