OK, good. > How would this relate to the polynomial ring naming in 1.5?

In SAGE-1.5, the default polynomial ring naming is exactly as in SAGE-1.4. I fully implemented the automatic injection of polynomial ring variables when the rings are created, but it is *off* by default. When it is on, it is verbose, and lets the user know what is happening. > I've created a wiki page for collaboration and discussion about this > issue: > http://sage.math.washington.edu:9001/BasicCalculus Excellent. > It doesn't have very much on it yet, but I'd like to get at the very > least a comprehensive list of guidelines and constraints to work with.
