Don't worry! If you want to make me a Christmas present: plunge into the
Categories of FriCAS and redesign them - yes: only the categories.  I know that
you are quite good at that, and it's probably the one thing FriCAS needs most
badly currently.

I started to look at three different areas, but I admit that I mostly failed,
although I now know at least some of the issues involved and documented the
current situation a tiny little bit.

* make power series and polynomial categories consistent and "nice"

* improve the matrix categories

* improve the aggregate world

* create good categories for function spaces.  (what a pity FunctionSpace is
  already taken...)

And, in my opinion, do not worry about breaking user code.  There aren't that
many users of FriCAS currently anyway, and I think most of them will happily
spend a little bit of time updating their code in exchange for more
consistency.
