This adds out of place syntactic sugar for finite fields (FF), extension fields and elliptic curves (EC):
+for addition~+for variable time addition (EC only)-and~-*for multiplication (FF) and scalar multiplication (EC)~*for variable time scalar multiplication (EC)Due to performance issues (useless large copies and extra stack alloc instead of in-place construction) #145, they should be avoided for internal protocols.
However they are convenient for rapid prototyping, debugging and testing as they skip variable and type declaration.
