<h3>
Description:
</h3>
This function returns an improved representation of
the algebraic element a. It might be the case that
a has a simpler basis representation than given.
<sf> EltSimplify</sf>
will find the simplest representation possible. This function is
important for programs written in <sf> KASH</sf>, since the output of an
algebraic number is always simplified, although the number itself
can have a bad representation.
