4.4.2 ideal expressions

An ideal expression is:

  1. an identifier of type ideal
  2. a function returning an ideal
  3. a combination of ideal expressions by the arithmetic operations + or *
  4. a power of an ideal expression (operator ^ or **)
    Note that the computation of the product i*i involves all products of generators of i while i^2 involves only the different ones, and is therefore faster.
  5. a type cast to ideal
