Types and member functions

For use with members functions, gp2c provides the following types:

nf
for ordinary number fields, i.e., a result given by the GP function nfinit.
bnf
for big number fields, i.e., a result given by the GP function bnfinit which includes class and unit group data.
bnr
for ray class groups, i.e., a result given by the GP function bnrinit.
ell
for elliptic curves, i.e., a result given by the GP function ellinit.
gal
for galois extensions, i.e., a result given by the GP function galoisinit.
prid
for prime ideals, i.e., a component of the result given by the GP function idealprimedec.

Members functions on typed objects are much more efficients. Also, when used with PARI 2.1, gp2c cannot support member functions applied to generic objects.
