 If you take the quotient ring of a quotient ring, I would expect there to
 be a coercion map corresponding to the natural surjection. However this
 does not occur:
 {{{
 sage: R.<x,y> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
 sage: S = R.quotient_ring(x^2+y^2)
 sage: S
 Quotient of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y over Rational Field by
 the ideal (x^2 + y^2)
 sage: S.has_coerce_map_from(R)
 True
 sage: T = S.quotient_ring(x^3 - y)
 sage: T
 Quotient of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y over Rational Field by
 the ideal (-x*y^2 - y, x^2 + y^2)
 sage: T.has_coerce_map_from(R)
 True
 sage: T.has_coerce_map_from(S) # this should be true
 False
 }}}

 I suspect the following does not occur either (and is where the problem
 lies). If an ideal `I` is contained in an ideal `J`, there is not a
 coercion from `R/I -> R/J`.
