///
/// Trait for any map `Zq -> Zq'` for (usually composite) `q, q'`.
/// 
/// In the normal case that `q, q'` are composite, the input and output
/// are given/expected to be returned in RNS resp. CRT form, i.e. `x in Zq`
/// is represented by `(x mod p)_{p | q}`.
/// 
/// # Standard use case
/// 
/// The main use case for this are cases where `q, q'` are huge (do not fit into
/// basic integers) and the maps can be efficiently computed without computing the 
/// representatives modulo `q` resp. `q'`. This is in particular possible for
/// "approximate versions" of rounding or rescaling, that are important during
/// RLWE-based HE.
/// 
/// When we then have an object representing such a map, we can pass it to
/// [`crate::ciphertext_ring::perform_rns_op()`] or similar functions. This 
/// way, we can perform some operations on double-RNS-represented ring element 
/// very easily and efficiently (without arbitrary-precision arithmetic).
