Comment(by robertwb):

 I've ready most of the patch, it looks really good, and works on all my
 examples. I'm still digesting it all... One comment I have is that

 {{{
 sage: from sage.ext.fast_callable import ExpressionTreeBuilder
 sage: etb = ExpressionTreeBuilder(vars=['x','y'])
 sage:  etb.var('z')
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<ipython console>", line 1, in <module>
   File "fast_callable.pyx", line 555, in
 sage.ext.fast_callable.ExpressionTreeBuilder.var
 (sage/ext/fast_callable.c:3720)
 ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list
 }}}

 could have a better error.

 Something else that would be really nice is an option that uses a fast
 domain, if it's there, but ignores the domain parameter if it's not.

 For elements, we can use the _xxx_ arithmetic operators, skipping
 coercion. Also, PY_TYPE_CHECK(x, Element) is potentially slow--it would be
 nice to have a "generic" element of the domain so you can do "type(x) ==
 type(generic_element) or PY_TYPE_CHECK(x, Element). But perhaps this is
 optimization for a later day.
