+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. Those and the octonion stuff could be moved
+   to hurwitz.py along with the HurwitzMatrixAlgebra.
 
 7. Every once in a long while, the test
