The fact that you put "systems" in quotes I think really gets to what
my question is: How is "systems" defined in this case?
Essentially, a "system" is any external math package/library that a
computation uses. So things like Pynac, MPFR, PARI, Maxima, OpenBLAS, ...
I agree that this is not really objective, for various reasons:
1. Why restrict to "math" packages? We could consider Python, Cython,
ECL or CyPari2 to be a "system" too.
2. What about trivial uses? For example, if we ask to list all elements
of FiniteField(16), does that really "use" Givaro? Technically, it does
but only in a very trivial way.
