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

+1. Add cartesian products to random_eja().
 
 2. Add references and start citing them.
 
-3. Implement the octonion simple EJA.

 4. Pre-cache charpoly for some small algebras?

 5. Profile the construction of "large" matrix algebras (like the
