/// This is equivalent to the following:
///  - Every irreducible polynomial is square-free (over the algebraic closure)
///  - Every finite-degree field extension is simple, i.e. generated by a single element
///
/// Note that currently, I sometimes make the assumption that a `PerfectField` is either
/// finite, or has characteristic 0. This is clearly not the case in general, but all perfect
/// fields that currently exist are one of those. I would even say that infinite perfect fields
/// of positive characteristic are quite an exotic case in computer algebra, and I do not expect
/// to implement them in the forseeable future. The simplest example of such a field would be
/// the algebraic closure of the function field over a finite field, i.e. `AlgClosure(Fp(X))`.
