Hi --

we are almost ready getting the universal cyclotomic field, UCF (which
is the smallest subfield of the complex numbers containing all roots
of unity) into sage, see
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8327.

In GAP, the point of entry is the function E, like in E(5) to get exp(
2 \pi i / 5 ) . The question is:

Do people agree to use this letter as well in Sage ?

Alternatively, we could use e.g. UCF.E instead, but I'd somehow prefer
to do it completely analogously to GAP. On some machines, we currently
get a segfault in  sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_number_field.py
which might be caused by the fact that people used there as well the
letter E to work with elliptic curves.

Cheers, Christian
