Example of an application of the generalized Eisenstein criterion #

We show here how Polynomial.generalizedEisenstein can be applied to establish the irreducibility of the explicit polynomial of degree 4 X ^ 4 - 10 * X ^ 2 + 1 : ℤ[X]. (to which the standard criterion) wouldn't apply. One argues modulo 3, with q := X ^ 2 + 1.
