for real fields, use bnrstark. For imaginary ones, you'll have to
implement it.

It can't. It very often does, which is very different...

So it should in fact emphasize the opposite.

Possibly. But the simplest [ and fastest ] way to use rnfkummer is simply
rnfkummer(, p) to output all extensions of (prime) degree p in a single call.

Building compositums and identifying the right extensions is essentially
straightforward, but a user interface would be rather awkward.
