Subject: eja: allow subalgebra_idempotent() to work in trivial EJAs.
X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.michael.orlitzky.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9f91faac758f0ef3a1ea7b1ad1cb506e73735d89;p=sage.d.git

eja: allow subalgebra_idempotent() to work in trivial EJAs.

Every element is nilpotent in a trivial EJA, but we also know the only
idempotent element in such an algebra: its sole occupant. So return it.
