-1. Add CartesianProductEJA.
+1. Finish CartesianProductEJA: add to_matrix(), random_instance(),
+   one()... 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?
 
 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.
+RealSymmetricEJA(4):
 
-6. Switch to QQ in *all* algebras for _charpoly_coefficients().

+   e.g. HadamardEJA(3) and JordanSpinEJA(3).

+6. Profile the construction of "large" matrix algebras (like the
+   15-dimensional QuaternionHermitianAlgebra(3)) to find out why
+   they're so slow.
