+5. Override random_instance(), one(), 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.
+
+   This may require supporting "basis" as a list of basis vectors
+   (as opposed to superalgebra elements) in the subalgebra constructor.
+
+8. Implement random_instance() for general algebras as random_eja().
+   Copy/paste the "general" construction into the other classes that
+   can use it. The general construction can be something like "call
+   random_instance() on something that inherits me and return the
+   result."
