ca_condense_field
Synopsis
#include <flint/ca.h>Moves res to a smaller field when this is possible by inspecting its representation: a rational value is demoted to \mathbb{Q}, and an element of a generic field that only depends on one algebraic generator becomes an element of the number field generated by it. This is done automatically by most operations.
