#T get rid of `!.zeroRing'
#T (provide uniform access to the zero coeff. stored in the element;
#T this is also possible for polynomials etc.)

#T get rid of !.defaultType
#T get rid of !.oneMagma

#T best get rid of the families distinction for magma rings ?
#T (would solve problems such as relation between GroupRing( Integers, G )
#T and GroupRing( Rationals, G ))

##  The default representation of a magma ring element is a list of length 2,
##  at first position the zero coefficient, at second position a list with
##  the coefficients at the even positions, and the magma elements at the
##  odd positions, with the ordering as defined for the magma elements.
##  <P/>
##  It is assumed that arithmetic operations on magma rings produce only

##  The centre of a group ring $RG$ of a finite group $G$ is the FLMLOR
##  over the centre of $R$ generated by the conjugacy class sums in $G$.
##
##  Note that this ring is clearly contained in the centre of $RG$.
##  On the other hand, if an element $x = \sum_{g \in G} r_g g$ lies in the
##  centre of $RG$ then $( r h ) \cdot x = x \cdot ( r h )$ for each
##  $r \in R$ and $h \in G$.
##  This means that
##  $\sum_{g \in G} (r r_g ) ( h g ) = \sum_{g \in G} (r_g r ) ( g h )$,
##  which means that for $k = h g_1 = g_2 h$, the coefficients on both sides,
##  which are $r r_{g_1} = r r_{h^{-1} k}$ and $r_{g_2} r = r_{k h^{-1}} r$,
##  must be equal.
##  Setting $r = 1$ forces $r_g$ to be constant on conjugacy classes of $G$,
##  and leaving $r$ arbitrary forces the coefficients to lie in the centre
##  of $R$.
