Compress F_{p^k} elements (E24, E12, E6) when they are in the cyclotomic subgroup, i.e. z^{\Phi_k(p)} == 1. This works in particular to compress GT elements after a pairing. The compression ratio is 1/2 using Torus-based T2 lossless compression following "COMPRESSION IN FINITE FIELDS AND TORUS-BASED CRYPTOGRAPHY", K. RUBIN AND A. SILVERBERG (section 2).

Note we can have a lossless compression with ratio 1/3 using CEILIDH (section 3) if we decide to change the extensions tower (e.g. Fp2-Fp4-Fp12 for E12). This would result is a slightly slower pairing though.

It seems like the same perf.

And we can change representation (supranational/blst#101 (comment), supranational/blst#102 (review))
