Research direction

Start by locating the package's existing quaternion support and understanding its public API. Decide what octonion support should include and how it should be tested; the work is done when the agreed octonion functionality is implemented consistently with the existing quaternion support and the test suite passes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Since the package has support for quaternions, should we also add octonions?
