But why does that even matter? You agreed that the complexity of the
implementation is a bad metric. And it's not because we cannot think of
a more efficient algorithm right now that one won't be found tomorrow.

Well, I suggest following Peter's idea of a two-lines function *in sagelib* instead of forking sage for such a dubious reason. If a more efficient algorithm is found tomorrow, I'm pretty sure PARI's developers will change their minds!
