********** NOTES ***********

 [1] All conversion operators come in procedural or functional
     form.  To convert  a  of type S to  x  of type T, you can write
        conv(x, a);
     or
        x = to_T(a);
 
     Note that when T is 'unsigned int/long', the functional
     forms are 'to_uint' and 'to_ulong'.
 
 [2] All conversions from ZZ to signed or unsigned int or long compute 
     the result modulo 2^n, where n is the number of bits of 
     the destination type.
 
 [2] All floating point to integral conversions compute the floor
     function *exactly*.
 
 [3] The ZZ to double conversion routine is very precise:
     the result is the nearest double, breaking ties using the 
     "round to even" rule.  Overflow results in +/- Infinity.
     All this assumes the underlying floating point adheres to
     the IEEE standard.
 
 [4] All conversions to RR round to the current working precision.
 
 [5] All conversions from long or ZZ to one of "mod p" types
        ZZ_p, ZZ_pX, ZZ_pE, ZZ_pEX,
        zz_p, zz_pX, zz_pE, zz_pEX,
        GF2, GF2X, GF2E, GF2EX
     yield the the residue class modulo p.
 
 [6] All polynomial to polynomial conversions apply coefficient-wise
     conversion.
 
 [7] All vector/matrix to vector/matrix conversions apply element-wise
     conversion.
 
 [8] The GF2X/ZZ_pX/zz_pX to GF2E/ZZ_pE/zz_pE conversions reduce
     the given polynomial modulo the current modulus.
 
 [9] All conversions from the type  const char*  apply the same algorithm
     as is used for reading from an I/O stream, so 
        ZZ x = to_ZZ("999999999999999999");
     initializes the ZZ x to the integer 999999999999999999.
 
[10] The conversions to vec_ZZ from vec_ZZ_p and vec_zz_p copy the
     standard non-negative residues; likewise for the conversions
     to ZZX from ZZ_pX and zz_pX.
