Comment (by rbeezer):

 It looks like you have duplicated some code for finding the common ring.
 I think that ideally this step should remain in the vector constructor.

 Before returning, you have the mapped elements, the degree, and the
 sparseness.  Did you try calling `vector()` with all the arguments
 supplied named, ie

 {{{
 arg0, arg1, arg2, sparse
 }}}

 much as calling format number 4, but with sparseness supplied?  Or maybe
 calling format 4 needs to be sure to handle the `sparse` keyword properly.

 I could be wrong about this, since I have not fully tested everything, but
 is there a way to just do the mapping and pass the degree in the sparse
 and non-sparse cases?  Let the constructor determine the new ring for the
 mapped entries?
