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.
