I'm trying to coercions between finite fields to behave automatically, which
leads to needing nth roots in finite fields for large n (exactly the
situation Yann is talking about). Not having to worry about factoring p^k-1

Here comes my arguments:
* it's useful for people working with small characteristic finite
fields.
