-1. Add CartesianProductEJA.
+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. 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.

-6. Switch to QQ in *all* algebras for _charpoly_coefficients().

+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).
+
+8. Add back the check_field=False and check_axioms=False parameters
+   for the EJAs we've constructed ourselves.
