Comment (by nthiery):

 Just a micro comment about the use of this ticket; not its
 implementation.

 ``However, transitivity does not hold in padic rings''

 Sounds scary! Well, as long as you know what you are doing :-)

 ``so they that we can override the transitivity test for padic
 implementations''

 I am not sure what's your plan for this; just in case, and unless this
 becomes too cumbersome, I prefer writing explicitly each time:
 {{{
     sage: TestSuite(...).run(skip="....transitivity")
 }}}

 rather than systematically disabling the transitivity test. First,
 that's the occasion to warn the user about an atypical behavior.  And
 to get more people to thing about creative ways of fixing that.
 Second, the test might actually pass in certain cases, and it's a
 useful information to record.

 Cheers,
                          Nicolas
