Namespace issues

Do not "use" for any namespaces, including std or CoCoA. Include your code into the following namespace structure:

namespace ApCoCoA{
 namespace AlgebraicCore{}
 namespace NumericCore{}
 namespace AlgebraicAlgorithms{}
 namespace NumericAlgorithms{}
 namespace HybridAlgorithms{}
}

Still, use ApCoCoA::*; and use CoCoA; may not produce any conflicts, so please name your classes, enums and functions correspondingly.

For bigger sets of functions, e.g. to implement one more complex algorithm, using help classes, typedefs etc. create a corresponding sub namespace. e.g.

namespace ApCoCoA{
 namespace NumericAlgorithms{
   namespace ABM{}
 }
}

Thereby, there must be a function in ApCoCoA::NumericalAlgorithms, calling the implemented algorithm. The names in the subnamespace may, but should not produce conflicts, if they are used together with the other, above mentioned namespaces.
