##  This file contains the design of the rings $Z / n Z$ and their elements.
##
##  The ordering of elements for nonprime $n$ is defined by the ordering of
##  the representatives.
##  For primes smaller than `MAXSIZE_GF_INTERNAL', the ordering of the
##  internal finite field elements must be respected, for larger primes
##  again the ordering of representatives is chosen.

##  <Description>
##  The elements in the rings <M>Z / n Z</M> are in the category
##  <Ref Filt="IsZmodnZObj"/>.
##  If <M>n</M> is a prime then the elements are of course also in the
##  category <Ref Func="IsFFE"/>,
##  otherwise they are in <Ref Filt="IsZmodnZObjNonprime"/>.
##  <Ref Filt="IsZmodpZObj"/> is an abbreviation of
##  <C>IsZmodnZObj and IsFFE</C>.
##  This category is the disjoint union of <Ref Filt="IsZmodpZObjSmall"/> and
##  <Ref Filt="IsZmodpZObjLarge"/>, the former containing all elements with
##  <M>n</M> at most <C>MAXSIZE_GF_INTERNAL</C>.
##  <P/>
##  The reasons to distinguish the prime case from the nonprime case are
##  <List>
##  <Item>
##    that objects in <Ref Filt="IsZmodnZObjNonprime"/> have an external
##    representation (namely the residue in the range
##    <M>[ 0, 1, \ldots, n-1 ]</M>),
##  </Item>
##  <Item>
##    that the comparison of elements can be defined as comparison of the
##    residues, and
##  </Item>
##  <Item>
##    that the elements lie in a family of type
##    <C>IsZmodnZObjNonprimeFamily</C>
##    (note that for prime <M>n</M>, the family must be an
##    <C>IsFFEFamily</C>).
##  </Item>
##  </List>
##  <P/>
##  The reasons to distinguish the small and the large case are
##  that for small <M>n</M> the elements must be compatible with the internal
##  representation of finite field elements, whereas we are free to define
##  comparison as comparison of residues for large <M>n</M>.
##  <P/>
##  Note that we <E>cannot</E> claim that every finite field element of
##  degree 1 is in <Ref Filt="IsZmodnZObj"/>, since finite field elements in
##  internal representation may not know that they lie in the prime field.
