Implement high level ring (wrapper) objects #26

Open fingolfin opened 10 years ago

fingolfin commented 10 years ago

There is already some code for this in the repository, but it is incomplete.

The idea is to provide an additional ring object type, implemented as a GAP attribute storing rep, which wraps the existing IsSI_ring type. With this high level object, it is much easier to implement various things; e.g. to cache the list of ring generators, to add code which allows the user to write R.4 to access the fourth ring generator, etc.

One of the main things missing is a constructor for these objects.

These should in particular be rings.

Make sure we can use them as BaseDomain for the MatrixObj interface.
