              work well => [with patch, with positive review]
              Extensions of Finite Fields don't work well

Comment:

 Positive review.  Patch applies cleanly to 3.2.2 and doctests in
 sage/rings/polynomial pass.

 I did notice while testing that this does not work:
 {{{
 sage: R.<x>=ZZ[]
 sage: S=ZZ.extension(x^3-2,'a')
 sage: S.order()
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NotImplementedError
 }}}
 and also that {{{S.random_element()}}} gives a random integer (I think).
 Another ticket perhaps?
