 *
 *  Description:
 *  The templated class Sturm implements Sturm sequences.
 *  Basic capabilities include:
 *     counting number of roots in an interval,
 *     isolating all roots in an interval
 *     isolating the i-th largest (or smallest) root in interval
 *  It is based on the Polynomial class.
 *
 *   BigFloat intervals are used for this (new) version.
 *   It is very important that the BigFloats used in these intervals
 *   have no error at the beginning, and this is maintained
 *   by refinement.  Note that if x, y are error-free BigFloats,
 *   then (x+y)/2 may not be error-free (in current implementaion.
 *   We have to call a special "exact divide by 2" method,
 *   (x+y).div2() for this purpose.
 *
 *   CONVENTION: an interval defined by a pair of BigFloats x, y
 *   has this interpretation:
 *       (1) if x>y,  it represents an invalid interval.
 *       (2) if x=y,  it represents a unique point x.
 *       (3) if x<y,  it represents the open interval (x,y).
 *           In this case, we always may sure that x, y are not zeros.
 *
 *   TODO LIST and Potential Bugs:
 *   (1) Split an isolating interval to give definite sign (done)
 *   (2) Should have a test for square-free polynomials (done)

   *
   *    val is the root after n iterations of Newton
   *       starting from initial value of bf and is exact.
   *    fuMSB and ffuMSB are precision parameters for the approximating
   *                the coefficients of the underlyinbg polynomial, f(x).
   *            THEY are used ONLY if the coefficients of the polynomial
   *                comes from a field (in particular, Expr or BigRat).
   *                We initially approximate the coefficients of f(x) to fuMSB
   *                relative bits, and f'(x) to ffuMSB relative bits.
   *                The returned values of fuMSB and ffuMSB are the final
   *                precision used by the polynomial evaluation algorithm.
   *    Return by reference, "del" (difference between returned val and value
   *       in the previous Newton iteration)
   *
   *    Also, "err" is returned by reference and bounds the error in "del".
   *
   *    IMPORTANT: we assume that when x is an exact BigFloat,
   *    then Polynomial<NT>::eval(x) will be exact!
   *    But current implementation of eval() requires NT <= BigFloat.
