-Trace inner product tests:
-
-            TESTS:
-
-            The trace inner product is commutative::
-
-            sage: set_random_seed()
-            sage: J = random_eja()
-            sage: x = J.random_element(); y = J.random_element()
-            sage: x.trace_inner_product(y) == y.trace_inner_product(x)
-            True
-
-            The trace inner product is bilinear::
-
-            sage: set_random_seed()
-            sage: J = random_eja()
-            sage: x = J.random_element()
-            sage: y = J.random_element()
-            sage: z = J.random_element()
-            sage: a = QQ.random_element();
-            sage: actual = (a*(x+z)).trace_inner_product(y)
-            sage: expected = a*x.trace_inner_product(y) + a*z.trace_inner_product(y)
-            sage: actual == expected
-            True
-            sage: actual = x.trace_inner_product(a*(y+z))
-            sage: expected = a*x.trace_inner_product(y) +  a*x.trace_inner_product(z)
-            sage: actual == expected
-            True
-
-            The trace inner product is associative::
-
-            sage: pass
-
-            The trace inner product satisfies the compatibility
-            condition in the definition of a Euclidean Jordan algebra:
-
-            sage: set_random_seed()
-            sage: J = random_eja()
-            sage: x = J.random_element()
-            sage: y = J.random_element()
-            sage: z = J.random_element()
-            sage: (x*y).trace_inner_product(z) == y.trace_inner_product(x*z)
-            True
-

+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. Pre-cache charpoly for some small algebras?
+
+RealSymmetricEJA(4):
+
+sage: F = J.base_ring()
+sage: a0 = (1/4)*X[4]**2*X[6]**2 - (1/2)*X[2]*X[5]*X[6]**2 - (1/2)*X[3]*X[4]*X[6]*X[7] + (F(2).sqrt()/2)*X[1]*X[5]*X[6]*X[7] + (1/4)*X[3]**2*X[7]**2 - (1/2)*X[0]*X[5]*X[7]**2 + (F(2).sqrt()/2)*X[2]*X[3]*X[6]*X[8] - (1/2)*X[1]*X[4]*X[6*X[8] - (1/2)*X[1]*X[3]*X[7]*X[8] + (F(2).sqrt()/2)*X[0]*X[4]*X[7]*X[8] + (1/4)*X[1]**2*X[8]**2 - (1/2)*X[0]*X[2]*X[8]**2 - (1/2)*X[2]*X[3]**2*X[9] + (F(2).sqrt()/2)*X[1]*X[3]*X[4]*X[9] - (1/2)*X[0]*X[4]**2*X[9] - (1/2)*X[1]**2*X[5]*X[9] + X[0]*X[2]*X[5]*X[9]
+
+5. Compute the scalar in the general natural_inner_product() for
+   matrices, so no overrides are necessary.
+
+6. The main EJA element constructor is happy to convert between
+   e.g. HadamardEJA(3) and JordanSpinEJA(3).
+
+7. Figure out if CombinatorialFreeModule's use of IndexedGenerators
+   can be used to replace the matrix_basis().
+
+8. Move the "field" argument to a keyword after basis, jp, and ip.
+
+9. Add back the check_field=False and check_axioms=False parameters
+   for the EJAs we've constructed ourselves. We can probably pass
+   the value of "check_axioms" to <whatever>.span_of_basis() to skip
+   the linear-independence check.
