/* Most method functions in this file are designed to work with
* non-trivial representations of field elements if necessary
* (see ecp_mont.c): while standard modular addition and subtraction
* are used, the field_mul and field_sqr methods will be used for
* multiplication, and field_encode and field_decode (if defined)
* will be used for converting between representations.
* Functions ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine() and
* ec_GFp_simple_point_get_affine_coordinates() specifically assume
* that if a non-trivial representation is used, it is a Montgomery
* representation (i.e. 'encoding' means multiplying by some factor R).
