A field can be finite, as here in this thread, or, say, cyclotomic, as it would happen, e.g., when dealing with character tables (or representations of finite groups over C). And there seems to be no functionality whatsoever for this in Sage. Am I correct? Actually, I particularly badly need a way to convert GAP's cyclotomics into Sage's data, so I might like to pick this up, although this would be my very 1st Sage coding project, and I would need a lot of pointers of how to start...
