I don't think this ticket is a very good idea long term, mainly due to
pynac being essentially abandonware: no active contributor to Sage
understands some details of pynac, there is a seemingly endless stream of
bugs coming from it, etc.

I am not saying this ticket should not go forward, but having this C++ code
in the body of Sage is more harmful than when it is separate.

The main problem of pynac is not that the present setup makes it hard to
work on symbolic issues, but that Sage depends on it at all.
