-1. Add CartesianProductEJA.

-5. Override inner_product(), _max_test_case_size(), et cetera in
-   DirectSumEJA.
+3. Profile the construction of "large" matrix algebras (like the
+   15-dimensional QuaternionHermitianAlgebra(3)) to find out why
+   they're so slow.
 
-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.
+4. Instead of storing a basis multiplication matrix, just make
+   product_on_basis() a cached method and manually cache its
+   entries. The cython cached method lookup should be faster than a
+   python-based matrix lookup anyway. NOTE: we should still be able
+   to recompute the table somehow. Is this worth it?
 
-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. What the ever-loving fuck is this shit?
 
-   This may require supporting "basis" as a list of basis vectors
-   (as opposed to superalgebra elements) in the subalgebra constructor.

+       sage: e0 = O.monomial(0)
+       sage: e0*[[[[]]]]
+       [[[[]]]]*e0
 
-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."
+6. Can we convert the complex/quaternion algebras to avoid real-
+   (un)embeddings? Quaternions would need their own
+   QuaternionMatrixAlgebra, since Sage matrices have to have entries
+   in a commutative ring.
 
-9. Pre-cache the one() method for concrete algebras, and test the general
-   method by clearing the cache.
+7. Every once in a long while, the test
+
+       sage: set_random_seed()
+       sage: x = random_eja().random_element()
+       sage: x.is_invertible() == (x.det() != 0)
+
+   in eja_element.py returns False.
