Canonical orders in a supplied quadratic number field #
A square root of a nonsquare integer D in a number field of rational degree two
identifies the field with the rational quadratic algebra of D. Evaluation transports
the canonical integral order to the subalgebra generated by (D + √D)/2 in that field.
The construction returns an actual GlobalNumberFields.NumberFieldOrder. Its integral
basis has vectors 1 and (D + √D)/2, its discriminant is D, and it is maximal exactly
when D is fundamental.
