Indeed, thanks for catching this one: the library function idealappr0
had been kept but I mistakenly changed C-Name from idealappr0 to
idealappr (and the attached Prototype) in the description file. Fixed in commit

    idealappr: allow flag for backward compatibility


(The flag is now officially deprecated, don't use it :-)

This affects src/functions/number_fields/idealappr (and a test file)
