Comment (by kcrisman):
I like a lot of it. Obviously needs tests in the new class. A few
questions, which may betray ignorance:
* Is it okay that we don't overwrite the global variables? I like that
in principle, but there is similar confusion at times with
!PolynomialRings that have an x which isn't in SR while `sage: x` still
returns the symbolic `x`. Just asking.
* One thing I don't like, or need explanation for, is the confusion in
multi-index situations between the string (not LaTeX) reps of `x_{1}_{1}`
and `x_{11}`, which are apparently both `x11`. It's almost ''too''
flexible, because you don't have to say how many indices there will be
ahead of time - which is useful, of course, but there might have to be
something with the reps.
* Should `SymbolSequence` inherit from something?
