My primary concern is actually the comment which states that some rules
have not been added to field_simps since the lead to splitting.  So the
question is whether it would make sense to identify more sensible but
splitting rewrite rules and establish a fact collection which contains
field_simps but also those splitting rules.  Especially fields with case
distinctions (!)= 0 could bear likely candidates.

The broader context is that I have made an investigation for theorems
which are equivalent except in their sort constraints.  These are likely
to exhibit irregularities in the class hierarchy.

Cheers,
	Florian
