#4869: make element of relative number field from polynomial

 Reporter:  AlexGhitza     |       Owner:  was                             
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new                             
 Priority:  minor          |   Milestone:  sage-3.4                        
Component:  number theory  |    Keywords:  relative number field polynomial
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 John Cremona remarked at #4837:

 for an absolute extension we can create an element from a polynomial over
 the base field, but not for a relative extension:

 {{{
 sage: K.<z>=CyclotomicField(7)
 sage: Ky.<y>=PolynomialRing(K)
 sage: L.<a>=K.extension(y^2+1)
 sage: K(K.polynomial_ring().random_element())
 z + 1
 sage: L(L.polynomial_ring().random_element())
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TypeError
 ...
 TypeError: Unable to coerce 7/2*z^5 + 1/2*z^4 + z^3 - 37/2*z to a rational
 }}}
