**
**  This file  declares  the functions that mainly  operate on vectors  whose
**  elements are elements from  finite fields.  As vectors  are special lists
**  many things are done in the list package.
**
**  A *vector* is a list that has no holes,  and whose elements all come from
**  a common field.  For the full definition of vectors see chapter "Vectors"
**  in  the {\GAP} manual.   Read also about "More   about Vectors" about the
**  vector flag and the compact representation of vectors over finite fields.
**
**  This package consists of four parts.
**
**  The   first   part    consists   of   the   macros    'SIZE_PLEN_VECFFE',
**  'PLEN_SIZE_VECFFE',   'LEN_VECFFE',    'SET_LEN_VECFFE',    'VAL_VECFFE',
**  'SET_VAL_VECFFE', 'ELM_VECFFE', and 'SET_ELM_VECFFE'.  They determine the
**  representation of vectors.  Everything else in  this file and the rest of
**  the {\GAP} kernel uses those macros to access and modify vectors.
**
**  The  second  part  consists of  the functions  'LenVecFFE',  'ElmVecFFE',
**  'ElmsVecFFE',  AssVecFFE', 'AsssVecFFE',  'PlainVecFFE', 'IsDenseVecFFE',
**  and 'IsPossVecFFE'.  They are the functions required by the generic lists
**  package.  Using these functions  the other parts of the {\GAP} kernel can
**  access  and  modify vectors  without actually being  aware  that they are
**  dealing with a vector.
**
**  The   third   part    consists   of   the   functions    'IsXTypeVecFFE',
**  'IsXTypeMatFFE', 'SumFFEVecFFE', 'SumVecFFEFFE', 'SumVecFFEVecFFE',  etc.
**  They  are the function for binary operations,  which  overlay the generic
**  functions in the generic list package for better efficiency.
**
**  The fourth part contains the internal functions for vectors.
