Remove this function? IE: rewrite it? http://www.johnkerl.org/doc/ffcomp.pdf

possible problem if type UTT is smaller than an int?

Member rawARingGaloisField (int p, int n)

why parameters are ints and not longs or mpz's? is an overflow possible?

check prime for primality (probably at top of Macaulay2)

ARingGFGivaro uses tables and may consume a huge amount of memory - pass therefore a 'MaxMemoryConsumption' parameter and if the value is overstepped by ARingGFGivaro, create polynomial representation?

the check if in general polynomial representation is needed cost some additional work, similar to linbox/field/givaro-gfq.h. Use GivaroGfq instead of Givaro::GFqDom in ARingGFGivaro?

return Macaulay Galois field in some cases.
