AlgebraicClosure() : -> FldAC

Create the algebraic closure {AC} of the rational field Q. General base fields will be supported in the future (though Q is the most important case).

AssignNamePrefix(A, S) : FldAC, MonStgElt ->

(Procedure.) Given an algebraically closed field A and a string S, reassign the string prefix of the names of A to be S. By default, this prefix is "r". When new variables are introduced by root taking, they are named by this prefix with the number appended (see A.i below).
