// Implementation note: the BlockConstruct routine has been customized
// for GF2E so that when a vec_GF2E is grown, space for the needed
// elements is allocated in one contiguous chunk. This saves on calls to
// malloc and free, and should also yield better locality of reference.
// One consequence of this is that swapping an element of a vec_GF2E
// with another GF2E can not be implemented by pointer swap, and will in
// this case be done by copy.
