 Replying to [comment:11 jhpalmieri]:
 > It seems like it might actually be less intrusive if you print a warning
 once, the first time Sage is run, than if you raise an error whenever any
 of these are attempted.  It  also looks more complicated to write a patch
 to catch all of the possible cases.
 I feel like printing a warning once is essentially equivalent to not
 printing a warning at all.  Very likely, it will go unnoticed.

 So my personal feeling for this ticket is "wontfix".  It looks too
 complicated to do it right, and the gain is marginal.
