 python skills and my will to only have minimal changes in conway.py.

 I don't think `_init` is a magic python method that automatically gets
 called. It may well be part of a protocol involved in
 sage.databases.db.Database. However, when you want to implement this as
 inheriting from `dict`, you'll have to call `_init` yourself in
 `__init__`, or better: just make `_init` part of it.

 To make the dictionary read-only, you may want to override the dictionary
 modification methods too. Plus you probably want to amend pickling
 (interesting question: How should this pickle? Should it write its content
 to a file or should it pickle to "initialize ConwayPolynomials() for
 unpickling"?
