    \brief \c CGAL::Scalar_factor_traits < \c CGAL::Polynomial<NT> >
 *
 *  The \c CGAL::Scalar_factor_traits::Scalar_factor of a polynomial,
 *  even of a nested polynomial, is essentially the gcd of its scalar
 *  coefficients. (This differs from the \c content() in that the content
 *  is the gcd of the coefficient sequence, which is again a polynomial,
 *  albeit with one variable less, for nested polynomials.) The scalar
 *  factor of the zero polynomial is 0.
 *
 *  This currently only works if the scalar type is a model of \c UFDomain.
