    //! Associative operation of a `Ring`.
    //! @ingroup group-Ring
    //!
    //! @param x, y
    //! Two `Ring` elements to combine with the `Ring` binary operation.
    //!
    //!
    //! Cross-type version of the method
    //! --------------------------------
    //! The `mult` method is "overloaded" to handle distinct data types
    //! with certain properties. Specifically, `mult` is defined for
    //! _distinct_ data types `A` and `B` such that
    //! 1. `A` and `B` share a common data type `C`, as determined by the
    //!    `common` metafunction
    //! 2. `A`, `B` and `C` are all `Ring`s when taken individually
    //! 3. `to<C> : A -> B` and `to<C> : B -> C` are `Ring`-embeddings, as
    //!    determined by the `is_embedding` metafunction.
    //!
    //! The definition of `mult` for data types satisfying the above
    //! properties is obtained by setting
    //! @code
    //!     mult(x, y) = mult(to<C>(x), to<C>(y))
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/mult.cpp
