Comment (by SimonKing):

 Here is one complication for singular_function: If you do
 `singular_function("std")`, then a `SingularKernelFunction` is created. In
 its `__init__`, it creates a call handler, and for that purpose it needs
 to find out the arity of the Singular kernel function.

 But apparently the arity of std can not be correctly determined, if
 `currRing==0`: One obtains arity 0, not 1, for std.

 Therefore, when I move the creation of `currRingHdl` from
 `SingularFunction.__init__` to where the function is called, an error
 occurs.

 A question arises: Is there a singular function that changes its arity
 depending on `currRing`? If it is the case, then we must determine
 `SingularKernelFunction.call_handler` each time the function is called,
 rather than during initialisation.
