Comment (by nbruin):

 Replying to [comment:3 duenez]:
 > The problem with SR not being reported as a field (or integral domain)
 is that several Linear Algebra methods require this behavior. For example
 solving a linear system with symbolic variables, eigen-value computation,
 etc. Or at least that was the original reason why I raised this issue. It
 might no longer be true.

 I have little doubt it still is. I suspect that one should just be
 pragmatic with SR and just keep fingers crossed when trying computations
 with SR. If they succeed: great! The answer might even be correct. If not:
 formulate the problem in another way.
