Uhm, what exactly are you trying to do? Indices of color_f() need to be of
type idx, so if you want to use wildcards, it needs to look like this:

  ex e = color_f(idx(wild(0), 8), idx(wild(1), 8), idx(wild(2), 8));
  cout << e << endl;
   // -> "f.($0).($1).($2)"

The third one is the correct test.

  cout << is_a<su3f>(e.op(0)) << endl;
   // -> "1"

(The fourth test returns 0 because an f_abc is not a color object; only the
noncommutative t_a are.)

Bye,
Christian
