Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:19 nbruin]:

 first example would permanently poison the sage session with nonsense.

 And that's why I think it is a good idea that ''all'' given arguments,
 including the category, are taken into the cache key of the factory. That
 way, it won't matter if you put a non-field into the category of fields,
 because you are still able to create a "sane" version of the same ring.

 > So I'd think `IntegerModRing(16,category=Fields())` should produce an
 error.

 I don't think so. And in any case, it should be on a different ticket.
