Originally we only had
Modulus
. Then we had a need for a temporaryModulus
withoutoneRR
so we createdPartialModulus
. However, there is really nothing "partial" about them. So, improve the naming by renamingPartialModulus
toModulus
andModulus
toOwnedModulusWithOne
. In the future we may refactor things further to separate the ownership aspect from the "has oneRR" aspect.Instead of just doing a straightforward rename, take this opportunity to refactor the code so that it uses the new
Modulus
wheneveroneRR()
isn't used. This eliminates the duplication of the APIs of the two modulus types, and the duplication ofelem_mul
andelem_mul_
.
