+`p`-adic ``ZZ_pX`` CR Element
+
+This file implements elements of Eisenstein and unramified extensions
+of `\ZZ_p` and `\QQ_p` with capped relative precision.
+
+For the parent class see :mod:`sage.rings.padics.padic_extension_leaves`.
+
+The underlying implementation is through NTL's ``ZZ_pX`` class.  Each
+element contains the following data:
+
+- ``ordp`` -- ``long``; a power of the uniformizer to scale the unit
+  by.  For unramified extensions this uniformizer is `p`, for Eisenstein
+  extensions it is not.  A value equal to the maximum value of a ``long``
+  indicates that the element is an exact zero.
+
+- ``relprec`` -- ``long``; a signed integer giving the precision to
+  which this element is defined.  For nonzero ``relprec``, the
+  absolute value gives the power of the uniformizer modulo which the
+  unit is defined.  A positive value indicates that the element is
+  normalized (ie ``unit`` is actually a unit: in the case of
+  Eisenstein extensions the constant term is not divisible by `p`, in
+  the case of unramified extensions that there is at least one
+  coefficient that is not divisible by `p`).  A negative value
+  indicates that the element may or may not be normalized.  A zero
+  value indicates that the element is zero to some precision.  If so,
+  ``ordp`` gives the absolute precision of the element.  If ``ordp``
+  is greater than ``maxordp``, then the element is an exact zero.
+
+- ``unit`` -- ``ZZ_pX_c``; an ntl ``ZZ_pX`` storing the unit part
+  The variable `x` is the uniformizer in the case of Eisenstein
+  extensions. If the element is not normalized, the ``unit`` may or
+  may not actually be a unit.  This ``ZZ_pX`` is created with global
+  ntl modulus determined by the absolute value of ``relprec``.  If
+  ``relprec`` is 0, ``unit`` **is not initialized**, or destructed if
+  normalized and found to be zero.  Otherwise, let `r` be ``relprec`` and
+  `e` be the ramification index over `\QQ_p` or `\ZZ_p`.
+  Then the modulus of unit is given by `p^{ceil(r/e)}`.  Note that all
+  kinds of problems arise if you try to mix moduli.
+  ``ZZ_pX_conv_modulus`` gives a semi-safe way to convert between
+  different moduli without having to pass through ``ZZX``.
+
+- ``prime_pow`` (some subclass of :class:`PowComputer_ZZ_pX`) -- a class,
+  identical among all elements with the same parent, holding common
+  data.
+
+  + ``prime_pow.deg`` -- the degree of the extension
+
+  + ``prime_pow.e`` -- the ramification index
+
+  + ``prime_pow.f`` -- the inertia degree
+
+  + ``prime_pow.prec_cap`` -- the unramified precision cap.  For
+    Eisenstein extensions this is the smallest power of `p` that is
+    zero.
+
+  + ``prime_pow.ram_prec_cap`` -- the ramified precision cap.  For
+    Eisenstein extensions this will be the smallest power of `x` that
+    is indistinguishable from zero.
+
+  + ``prime_pow.pow_ZZ_tmp``, prime_pow.pow_mpz_t_tmp``,
+    ``prime_pow.pow_Integer`` -- functions for accessing powers of
+    `p`.  The first two return pointers.  See
+    :mod:`sage.rings.padics.pow_computer_ext` for examples and important
+    warnings.
+
+  + ``prime_pow.get_context``, ``prime_pow.get_context_capdiv``,
+    ``prime_pow.get_top_context`` -- obtain an
+    ``ntl_ZZ_pContext_class`` corresponding to `p^n`.  The capdiv
+    version divides by ``prime_pow.e`` as appropriate.
+    ``top_context`` corresponds to `p^{\texttt{prec\_cap}}`.
+
+  + ``prime_pow.restore_context``,
+    ``prime_pow.restore_context_capdiv``,
+    ``prime_pow.restore_top_context`` -- restores the given context.
+
+  + ``prime_pow.get_modulus``, ``get_modulus_capdiv``,
+    ``get_top_modulus`` -- returns a ``ZZ_pX_Modulus_c*`` pointing to
+    a polynomial modulus defined modulo `p^n` (appropriately divided
+    by ``prime_pow.e`` in the capdiv case).

+
+You can get at the underlying ntl unit::
+
+    sage: z._ntl_rep()
+    [6 95367431640505 25 95367431640560 5]
+    sage: y._ntl_rep()
+    [2090041 19073486126901 1258902 674 16785]
+    sage: y._ntl_rep_abs()
+    ([5 95367431640505 25 95367431640560 5], 0)
+
+.. NOTE::
+
+    If you get an error ``internal error: can't grow this _ntl_gbigint,``
+    it indicates that moduli are being mixed inappropriately somewhere.
+
+    For example, when calling a function with a ``ZZ_pX_c`` as an
+    argument, it copies.  If the modulus is not
+    set to the modulus of the ``ZZ_pX_c``, you can get errors.

+        Compute ``self^right``.
+
+        Note: when ``right`` is divisible by `p` then one can get more
+        precision than expected.
+
+        Lemma 2.1 (Constructing Class Fields over Local Fields, Sebastian Pauli):
+
+        Let `\alpha` be in `\mathcal{O}_K`.  Let
+
+        .. MATH::
+
+            p = -\pi_K^{e_K} \epsilon
+
+        be the factorization of `p` where `\epsilon` is a unit.  Then
+        the `p`-th power of `1 + \alpha \pi_K^{\lambda}` satisfies
+
+        .. MATH::
+
+            (1 + \alpha \pi^{\lambda})^p \equiv \left{ \begin{array}{lll}
+            1 + \alpha^p \pi_K^{p \lambda} & \mod \mathfrak{p}_K^{p \lambda + 1} & \mbox{if $1 \le \lambda < \frac{e_K}{p-1}$} \\
+            1 + (\alpha^p - \epsilon \alpha) \pi_K^{p \lambda} & \mod \mathfrak{p}_K^{p \lambda + 1} & \mbox{if $\lambda = \frac{e_K}{p-1}$} \\
+            1 - \epsilon \alpha \pi_K^{\lambda + e} & \mod \mathfrak{p}_K^{\lambda + e + 1} & \mbox{if $\lambda > \frac{e_K}{p-1}$}
+            \end{array} \right.
+
+
+        So if ``right`` is divisible by `p^k` we can multiply the
+        relative precision by `p` until we exceed `e/(p-1)`, then add
+        `e` until we have done a total of `k` things: the precision of
+        the result can therefore be greater than the precision of
+        ``self``.
+
+        There is also the issue of `p`-adic exponents, and determining
+        how the precision of the exponent affects the precision of the
+        result.
+
+        In computing `(a + O(\pi^k))^{b + O(p^m)}`, one needs that the
+        reduction of `a` mod `\pi` is in the prime field
+        `\GF{p}` (so that the `p^m` power of the Teichmuller
+        part is constant as `m` increases).  Given this restriction,
+        we can factor out the Teichmuller part and use the above lemma
+        to find the first spot where
+
+        .. MATH::
+
+            (1 + \alpha \pi^{\lambda})^{p^m}
+
+        differs from 1.  We compare this with the precision bound
+        given by computing `(a + O(\pi^k))^b` and take the lesser of
+        the two.
+
+        In order to do this we need to compute the valuation of ``(self
+        / self.parent().teichmuller(self)) - 1``.
